What a whirlwind week these past 3 days have been for me! With the start of classes on Wednesday, it seems as though everything's just been going, going going! I already had my first college paper assigned on Wednesday, which was due this morning. I really put a lot of time and effort into it and it was only a 2 page paper! I wanted to start things off on the right foot.
I am taking 15 credits this semester, so it's a fairly decent class load. My classes are:
English Composition II
Macroeconomics
Missionary Life and Work
Fundamentals of Speech
Christ, Culture and the University
Every professor has a different story to tell, a different background that defines them, and different teaching styles and habits. I've just been testing the waters so far.
I find myself being deprived of sleep - thus I make up for it in naps during the afternoon. Never before have I done this, but it seems to be working since usually the dorms are rather quiet from the hours of 11am-9pm.
Tomorrow is the SEU BIG GIVE. It's a community outreach that SEU does to the Lakeland community that involves lots of food, music, and a carnival of some sorts. Looking forward to playing my part in the mayhem tomorrow. I've found roughly a dozen churches that seem to be potential candidates for my attendance on Sundays, so I'm going to be "moving around" (something I hate) this first month or two. I'm just believing that the Lord will give me divine appointments with who I need to meet and connect.
So the campus event for today was called "Club Rush". It was an event in which all the campus clubs and organizations set up tables and gave information on what they did. I signed up for the Student Missions Association. I first wanted to know if the purpose of the group was simply to go on the SEU mission trips (which I'm not too interested in doing), but the guy said it wasn't about that at all and that the group's focus was to raise awareness on campus about missions, etc. which I thought would be the ultimate venue for propagating Africa Harvest Mission. So we'll see how it goes and who knows, maybe one day I might just become group president. HA - what a thought.

Hi Jesse,
I met you at Bethel last month at your African table and I absolutely loved the way you decorated it. My son, Joshua, was with me. He is a 7th grader at HCS.
I'm glad you're settled in and I am excited for you as you begin this journey in the next season of your life. May I encourage you to take your time as you visit different churches. It may be that at this time more than one will offer you something different & unique. Enjoy each and what they have to offer.
I look forward to reading your emails and blog. I will be praying for you...
Isaiah 58:11 The Lord will guide you always, he will satisfy your soul in drought, and will strengthen your frame. You will be like a watered garden, a spring whose waters never fail.

Hey Mrs. Roth,
Yes of course I remember you! Thank you SO much for all your prayers and support. Without the support from home (Bethel) I doubt I would be where I am today. Thank you for your encouragement.
I look forward to taking you and your whole family on a short-term trip to Uganda someday! (Pray about it!) :)
Sincerely,
Jesse
