At the Start

Well, Here I am.

I've got a midterm tomorrow morning and I have so much studying to do. haha.

I'm pretty excited about my DG though. haha. Today we looked at how and to who we should share our faith. Faith being the key word. How, by faith and to whom, by faith. haha. God has placed people around us who He wants us to share the truth with and to share His love. The exact method will vary, but we gotta trust God with the timing and that no matter what we say, it all comes down to what God is doing in their hearts, not our ability to convince people of anything.

But ya. haha. My guys are awesome. Hard to keep up with them sometimes. lol. But I guess that means that we can move forward. This Friday I'm gonna try to go sharing on campus with a couple of them. Looking forward to it.

Today was great. lol. I got to study with my classmates after DG until I had to go to work and then I got to bus to work with TJN and shop with him. haha.

I got to work, then I go to thinking about how I had come to this point.

There are three classmates I spend most of my time with. They are good friends now, but how did I get here?

Last year was completely different. At the start of last year I had met one of them once, had seen the name of the other and watched videos he was in, and the third I had never even seen. All three were my classmates.

I ended up spending time with the one. She was lab partners with the one I hadn't met. Through a mutual friend I officially met the second one on facebook. Near the end of the first semester I met the third while the first and him were working on a lab report.

At this point I don't think we were really friends all that much?

Second semester I ended up being lab partners with the third friend. I was talking more with the second. And the first needed no additional intentionality to become better friends, she kinda has been pulling the friendship along. haha. Anyways, at this point we all knew each other and had the same classes and therefore worked on labs together and went to classes together. We also all went to sushi together. =D And probably Pho a couple times?

I definitely started praying for them last year. In the second semester I invited the first friend to a coffeehouse type event where the gospel was shared at the end. The third friend I invited to church and he came. The second I haven't talked to too much about Jesus.

This year we have been pretty inseparable, except for the first and second kinda having an awkward relationship now. haha. But ya, we hangout a lot. I have been very open about being Christian and they are now all asking questions.I asked the first to Rock the River and she came. That week she asked about the different denominations. The second has said a few times that he doesn't know anything about religions. This week he asked about baptism and it's meaning. The third is really funny and went to a Christian boarding school for highschool. He is doing a project on this cross-shaped molecule that apparently holds you together or something? The two guys have become way more open to talking with me (they were both pretty shy) and the first is still as outgoing as before. lol.

Anyways, I'm pumped about where these relationships are going, but realized I have one semester left before I have co-op and won't be in their classes anymore. >.<

Praying real hard right now.
