Orientation

So I started school stuff today. Today was orientation. Tomorrow is Enrolment. I'm not sure what Thursday and Friday are honestly. But we have to be there like the whole day. I think tomorrow I am going to go to a bbq hosted by the church for new students and then I will probably go to Powerhouse, which is a service for 18-25 year olds. So I will probably have a 2 hour break tomorrow throughout the whole day. I think things are starting to pick up more. I am going to try and get really involved in the church. Lee Burns, the principle of the Hills Campus at the college, put it very well. He basically advised us that we should really just sink our roots into the church and absorb everything God has to offer through it. He also warned us that it's not all going to be easy, and you probably won't be doing stuff you want to do sometimes. I am really excited to see what areas God is leading me to in the church and school. I am really anxious to see which form of outreach I am going to be in! I am excited about school, because for once in my life, I can actually learn something I am passionate about, something that drives me, the One thing I live for. Since I have been here, there have been people that have given me mixed messages about the college. Some people have complained about this, that, and the other. I have already seen a few rebellious spirits here and there, but when I got to the college today actually, I was at home. I knew that I knew that I knew (and I still know) this is where God has called me right now. "For such a time as this." We opened orientation...yes, orientation, with WORSHIP. I mean, come on. That's awesome! What could have been a really boring, drawn out day, actually turned into a great time of worship and fellowship (with some ground rules, and healthy food!). Anyways, I think what really got me, and made me realize how much I desire to be here, is when worship started, all the students were worshipping...in spirit and in truth..you could just tell. There was passion. I realized this is what I have been waiting for. Even so, God has been telling me lately that I really need to independently decide to praise God, and to develop my relationship with Him, despite what people do or say. I can decide by the actions I take here how much I can get out of this experience.
