feminar & manfrence

sorry its been a while... i get into this routine and time just flies!!

we had a staff meeting tonight and we shared different things that God has been doing in the lives of the students here this session and it was really cool to hear the stories of people glad to be here. then eric(staff director) told us what a great job we were doing but that we are going to be held accountable face to face and stuff. i'm glad we are! its too easy to get complacent when you're on the job. oo and i found out that both joshua harris and donald miller have worked at summit... weird i know. we also had a guy here to do music this week... http://www.joshbales.com/ he was really good!!

so tonight was the feminar and the manfrence which is when the guys all meet in the classroom and talk about who know what and the girls all meet in the dining room. a couple of staff girls all share something they have struggled with. i love it at summit because we are not afraid to talk about things that the american church avoids. NO sin is too dark or disgusting for God! he wants to bring ALL of them to Light and heal us. so i actually shared about my experience (or non experience) with the whole dating relationships ordeal and the loneliness and depression that can follow. i'm really grateful for all of the public speaking experience i've had because it made it really easy to just share my heart with the girls.

then we had small groups with the students to talk about the things they heard in the feminar. i made white chocolate peanut butter and sliced apples and mish made nightwatch iced coffee... it was soo good. the girls really opened up tonight about stuff they struggle with and things their friends struggle with that they don't know how to handle.

two more days till i get a day off... i think i can make it!
