winds blow, God moves

Hey everyone, I apologize if you couldn't view the last post I made! I was having some trouble loading things onto the site here, but everything should be in order now, so you can go view the previous post, and this one now!
This week has been really sweet, honestly. Tuesday, Shelley, Beth, and I all had AM shift, and when we got off we decided to go hike Eagle Cliff Mtn. Eagle Cliff is interesting, because there's no real path up to the top, you have to create your own. So up we went. We also discovered that CACTI grow up on the mountains!!! How weird is that? We had a good time creating our own path up the mountain, but we didn't make it to summit because a storm came in. I slipped and fell a couple of times going down on some rocks. The first time I rolled down some rocks, and bruised my wrist and hip. Shelley and Beth said it was a graceful fall, but that's still to be debated. Later that night I was about to come over here to the Admin. building for some God Time when... God intervened! I had an amazing spiritual conversation with my roommate, who is not a Christian, but practices Christian living better than half the Christians I know! She understands faith, love, and acceptance better than a lot of us do! Anyway, we were hanging out and I asked her if she wanted to come to our LT service, and she said sure. So did her boyfriend Eric, who has been hanging around us LTers A LOT lately! It was a good time! I had asked her later that night if she wanted to hang out with our Project Group on Wednesday, so yeseterday she came hiking with us and hung out with my Lifegroup. Project Day yesterday was AMAZING! We ate breakfast together and then took some time to write letters to ourselves about where we are now and what we wanted God to do in our lives over the summer and prayer requests we wanted answered. Then we hiked out to Moraine Park and buried the letters in a bag, and ate lunch out there and talked about evangelism. We're going to go to Ft. Collins next week and do some evangelism on the Colorado State University campus. Then we hiked back and had quiet times with God and Lifegroup time. Our Lifegroup went into town and got ice cream at the Malt Shop and talked more about evangelism and about relationships. It was really awesome. Steph (my roommate) came with us, and even contributed to our discussions. We sat and talked for about 2 hours and then walked around town and looked in some shops. There is the most amazing Irish/Celtic shop in town in the old church shops that is beautiful! They have all kinds of instruments and music, and clothing, and jewelry that is beautiful! Steph and I are probably going to go into town again soon and go there again. Then we came back and had dinner as a Project Group and sat in the Halletts lobby playing a game for the evening. It was a super-sweet day with some super-sweet people! Today's my day off for the week to myself, and so far I've been working on my articles for WithoutConcept.com and uploading pictures to this site. I'm hoping to read some more today and do some meditation and get some practicing in.
The weather here has been absolutely ridiculous!!! Yesterday it was sunny for half the day, then it started raining really bad and got really cloudy. And then the worst of it came. It started hailing and raining harder, and the wind picked up. All last night the gusts of wind that continually came were worse than anything I think I've experienced thus far in Bowling Green. There were huge gusts that made the all the windows in our staff housing rattle, the building itself constantly creaked and groaned, while outside the wind kept swirling the dust and dirt roads around in the air and blowing dirt everywhere. It also snowed last night!!! Yes, that's right... I SAW SNOW IN JUNE. A bunch of us were in the lobby when it started and all the A&M Aggies started cheering and getting excited and all the BG Falcons started groaning and complaining. Most of the Texans hadn't seen snow before... and us Ohioans have seen snow since October, haha. It was a good night, though.
Okay everyone, so this morning, I FINALLY uploaded all the rest of my pictures (some of which are from yesterday) so definitely scroll down and click on the "My Photos" link to check out some of the latest photos I've got up. That's about it for now! Keep praying for my roommate, Steph, and Eric, and for all of us out here at LT!
