A Typical Day...

I can't believe it's already October! The fall semester is keeping me very busy, and I am loving it. Many people have asked me, 'What is a typical day for you?' I never know how to answer this question because I don't have a 'typical' day. Most days there are many things on my list to do such as reading books I am going through with others, making sure I spend time reading my Bible, going around campus to talk to students about the Gospel, meeting with students involved in CSF, working on support, and preparing for Bible studies.

However, campus ministry is a relational position, and when I get an opportunity to meet up with someone, my list gets put aside. I am here for the students, to share the Gospel with them and make disciples. I am currently discipling two girls, Allie and Jessica. Jessica is a student I was discipling last year, and we are starting to read Radical together. I am excited to meet with her again, and continue to see God's work in her life. I am also meeting with a freshman girl,Allie, who was saved this summer. We have been reading a book called Christian Beliefs, and it is such a blessing to watch Allie grow in understanding of her faith. She is bold in her classes, and has been able to bring students from class to church with her. I pray that she would continue to be bold and influence the Johnson & Wales campus.

Kim and I also work through the club roster, meeting up with all of the girls to get to know them and to help build relationships. We often have students sign up at Student Activities Night who never come to any of our Bible studies or activities. We also have students who come a few times, then never come back. By meeting up with each student individually, we hope that they will feel connected, and continue to be involved.

Additionally, most weekends we have an event to build community among the group. Tonight we are having everyone over to our apartment to hang out, and play Wii. Next weekend is my favorite event---Apple Picking! We are going to go apple/pumpkin picking then come back to our place and bake apple delights!

So, there are no set hours or daily routine, but this is the majority of what I spend my time doing each week.
