post-retreat thoughts...

well, i had quite a good time on the retreat this weekend. we were fortunate enough to have alison siewert come and speak for our community this weekend. she spoke mostly of Jesus and how different people responded to him (pharisees, the sick, the disciples). i am always amazed that i often can't get enough of Jesus. he's like an onion...so many layers. i'll save the details of the retreat for my newsletter, so you don't have to read the same stories twice.
i had a great conversation today with the student team leader, rebecca. i miss having regular conversations with students since i have been focussing on fundraising. i was so encouraged to listen to her speak about what she has been learning through the semester so far. i also feel like i can actually say i see how she has been transformed by God in the process. it was good timing too as i have been feeling a little discouraged lately because i feel disconnected from the day-to-day of campus life. it is this stuff that i miss the most because it is so exciting to be a part of.
