Wow! I am on top of things! It's only been a few days since my last post! Ok, so maybe that just means for a short time I'm on top of keeping my friends and family updated, not necessarily on top of everything else... Like, homework for example! (Just kidding Dad! You know... haha?) So yeah, I just have to talk about another AMAZING evening! Usually when I talk about Alaska I ramble a bit, and make it funny, but also make Nome seem like a place nobody in their right mind would want to live. Well, God's been changing my mind on that, and I'm not as bitter towards the lifestyles of bush Alaska as I was. So last night I met two wonderful girls at dinner, and shared with them about Alaska, Nome, myself and previous bitternesses. We had about an hour before the night's chapel (it being Spiritual Emphasis Week), and spent the whole time talking about the sad situation. It was no longer a joke, and we all recognized the need for compassionate people in Alaska. One asked if we could pray, and we did. We prayed for Alaska, the people there, and for a compassionate spirit to awaken in me. It was the most precious time of fellowship I've ever had! I had not talked to either of these girls before, but we were able to come together in Christ, praying for a lost people, knowing that their only hope is in Christ. The chapel was also rediculously amazing! During certain songs one could look across the student body and see nothing but hands raised in praise, and in the 'Christ arose' verse of 'In Christ Alone', not an eye was dry! It was so amazing! Honestly, it can't be put into words. I mean, already, I've been rambling a good bit, but I'm sure you all will understand!
Over and off to nap time! Or not... but whatever... Laterz!
