Crazy busy week!
I had interviews for both UU and OBU. I was extremely nervous, but God was gracious and i didn't do or say anything outrageous (I think) so, i felt pretty good about them. I just found out today, that i did NOT get the full-ride scholarship from OBU, but i did recieve a very respectable scholarship (and, if God chooses to provide for me there, i can still maybe work it so that other scholarship stuff will cover virtually all my expenses!). And then, I won't hear anything about Union until March. Ultimately, I'm not worrying about it. It's all in God's hands. :D
So, tonight was the first official week of this eight week study I am co-leading at my church for eighth grade girls. I am very excited. :) there's only three girls, but they are all very sweet (although a little wild...).
I was reading Acts chapter two in preparation for tonight's lesson for the "Body Building" (our version of U249) and how at Pentecost, the Holy Spirit came and caused the disciples to speak in tongues. It really impacted me. I mean, here are these men, common, uneducated and God used them to speak to great multitudes of people... in foreign languages.
So often at school i find myself worrying over what to say to witness to my peers. Many times i have not said anything, letting opportunities pass because i was afraid that people wouldn't understand or would misconstrue my words. Goodness, that sounds so silly after reading Acts! If God can make men understand different languages, then He can certainly make my words understandable to people at my school.
bottom line: I need to be more vocal at my school. swallow my pride (my words do not have to eloquently address every theological belief i possess) and get the gospel out. From there, God will use it for His glory.
