Its so different being a person who follows Jesus, but not having roles to get in the way of defining who I am. Here on Summer Project my societal roles do not conflict one another. I am a student, employee, friend, son, brother, boyfriend, and such, but God has used summer project to reveal the purpose of these roles. That they are to fall short of my role as Christ-follower.
I am on summer, so of course , I don't have to worry about school much. Although I am pretty excited to start at Southeastern. I have a job, but its about 10 hours a week, honestly just enough (and a whole other blog's worth of praising God). I have established friendships here, but they only point me to Christ. My family and I are in good standing, so I believe. Rachel has only pointed me to Christ since we started pursuing a relationship. I don't have to worry about those things when Christ is the center of my life and where I find my identity.
Summer Project is an amazing experience where Christ reveals where he stands in a student's life. In such a monumental time in a person's life, college provides many roles which make it difficult to see a life Christ-centered. I think Summer Project is a great experience in such a time of life to reveal whether or not your life truly is.
Ideally , my week consists of:
Monday through Friday - Going out to campus until 4pm.
Saturday - Catch up on such things as this
Sunday - Church and meetings
Work is in between it all.
We do ministry here,, full-time. God has certainly confirmed that seminary is where I want to be to become more and more equipped to do this in the long run of life.
Tonight, Chris Burke and I are bringing two others to a Jimmy Johns's bowling party. It'll be interesting, but fun I'm sure. I am becoming more comfortable with the employees there now. Tonight should be a great opportunity to establish some friendships and hopefully some necessary vulnerability among others.
