Today is a blessing from God. A day off of work. I'm enjoying catching up on some homework, some time with the Lord, and some time just to rest in Him. I'm hanging out in a hammock between two palm trees swaying in the breeze as we speak. This morning I had the opportunity to play some pickup soccer with another CO region, Minnesota. Some of our guys, 2 staff girls who formerly played and I joined then for a little fun. It was cool to meet some others with the same passion for the God.
Work has been going well! I've gotten 2 weeks out of the way and my first paycheck. I put the check into my bank account and went straight into Bi-Lo to take advantage of our monthly Employee Appreciation Day of a 10% discount on anything at the store. I stocked up on microwave rice and pasta.
Honestly it's been really hard to find some time to spend with God, which is why I'm so thankful for today. I feel weak and tired all of the time with late nights, early mornings, and hard workouts. It's a struggle to get up and spend some time with God. This is one thing that I need prayer in. I know that if I rest in Him then he will provide time for me to get my other things done.
This week is our Sadie Hawkins. The guys perform skits to win over a room of girls and then we take them on a group "date" to grow in community and to serve our brothers in Christ. This is much different that our usual group dates led by a room of guys.
Tomorrow a staff girl from Clemson, my friend Mo, is taking all of the group leader girls on a boating trip after church. I'm excited for some time off of project to spend with them.
Here are some photos from the past week or so:
