frozen custard

i'm within the final three weeks now at texas a&m and am amazed how quickly this semester has passed. and i know how these next 17 days will go by.

i was reminded today why i am here. i am an ear to listen, a hug to give, a marker to point to our Lord Jesus Christ. i don't have all of the answers, nor the wisdom, for these girls' problems. i am a fellow traveller who has come alongside to walk with them through the dark muck of sin that pulls upon them during their college years. i am to point them away from themselves that they may behold One who is greater than they, that they may be able to continue to walk, and to get back up when they fall, though covered with that sticky, smelly muck. i wish i could continue walking through that muck with these girls at a&m for another year, but i know i am being called away from bryan/college station that i would marry. and i look forward to that day.

and i know the muck in the lives of the girls at baylor university, in waco, texas, is just as prevalent, sticky, smelly, and burdensome as it is here. and so i look to keep on travelling until i meet with those girls at baylor that i may walk with them, beside them, in the muck that is our sin.

but until that day...

would you please pray that i will keep my eyes upon Jesus my Saviour that i would continue to work where He has called me this day.

would you please pray for these girls and guys at texas a&m -- they are hurting, they are burdened.

would you rejoice with me at the faithful work the Lord Jesus continues to do in these students' hearts and lives! i have been so encouraged to see the change that has happened even over the past eight months in their understanding of who they are and who God is.

about the title: i am pleased to know i have converted one of my girls to frozen custard : ) yum.
