November 19th and November 20th

November 19th

I don't have a picture yet, but I am thankful for the freshmen and all the other new members of Cru. They remind me that God is preparing people from around the world to come together in order to fulfill His will. Their passion for Him, their strong desire to grow in Him, their love for their new neighbors has all blown my mind. They never cease to amaze me. Whether a freshman or a senior, I am thankful that God decided it was time for me to get to know them!

November 20th

It's been November 20th for only about an hour now, but I thought it would be appropriate while thanking God for the newbies to also thank Him for the student leaders who have stuck with Cru for the past several years and are still leading with a purpose. (They seriously need a picture of all of them together!) I don't know what I would do without them. I wonder each day how Cru will survive without them next year, but the wonderful thing about them is that it's not really them. God is the One who is shining so radiantly through them and leading our campus. Each one of them brings something beautifully different to the table and uses their talents in uniquely God-ordained ways. God gave us organizational skills, love for prayer, musical abilities, design talent, and sweet sweet personalities. Behind each one of these talents being used is an overwhelming passion for Christ and love for people. Also, the remarkable unity among these precious people encourages me each time I see them. I could not ask for better role-models. They are gonna be some tough shoes to fill!!
