Tonight, and most of the afternoon as well, Andrea and I sat in our room. Around 7:00, I became overly bored and expressed my wish that we had someone that we could ahng oout with on occasion... and she agreed with me. We then talked of different ministry tactics. Should we change how we dress? (Absolutely not) Should we attempt to do hair and make-up in the morning? (Honestly, other than attracting people for the wrong reasons, no.) Keeping our door open to the hall sure doesn't seem to be doing the trick.. even offering people freshly picked Calvin Crest apples... Of course an open door and apples may be a start but they're not going to draw people to Christ. We're here, we may as well accept it and I may as well stop complaining. Its not going to make things better and its keeping me from being positive. Therefore, God is doing good things through me while I'm here... I'm here for refining, not to make friends... but friends will happen along the way. As they did tonight. Some guys down the hall came by and I and I asked if they wanted to play cards with us a little later. They looked happy for an escape from homework and accepted! And so we played cards in our lounge! God heard our cry for people to hang out with! And these guys will see Christ through us. Thank you for your prayers... my next posts should be more substantial than these last few "whinny" ones. Sorry about that... but like my good friends Joshua David says, "it's a good thing to have a 'not happy' post every now and then because you're not always happy."
