out of my comfort zone
there is a possibility that the west campus may close in the relatively near future, and to be honest, it scares me. i always had this plan set in place to spend my four years of college a mere twenty minutes from my house, but that ideal is now translating into reality only in the most uncertain way. i mean, it would take some time, maybe even a couple of years, which would give me enough time to finish my degree. this may mean summer school though, or attending the tempe campus, which i dread more than anything else. ben prayed with me last night and i felt a lot better though. it's like miles said at work yesterday morning, where were we when God created the foundations of the earth? as i listened to ben pray i just wanted to cry, thinking about how incredible it is that we can approach the God who created the universe with something as petty as a college education. it's an unspeakably undeserved privilege.
speaking of God, He moved pretty powerfully at camp last weekend. i had to be confrontational and exhorting with one of my girls in a way that i have never been before. it was difficult and left me emotionally drained that night, but it was so worth it, because it couldn't have been clearer how much zach and i care for her, and how much God loves her, and how much we want to see Him glorified. sin has to be called out, it just does, because sin does not please God, and that is our goal, to do what is right and holy in His sight. the experience was so worthwhile, in all its difficulty. for some unknown reason that girl trusts me when she trusts very, very few people, and i will cherish that as long as it remains.
it looks like God is pushing me out of my comfort zone.
