Heart Surgery

My apologies for the lack of posts but these last few weeks have been extremely hectic. We've been right in the middle of core value month with the students and its been very intense. Its been an emotional roller coaster for everyone involved but God is working in everyone and its fantastic to see. This is an amazing bunch of students and all of them have great personalities and there's a very good atmosphere amongst them.
God has really been meeting with me personally over the last two weeks. Even though I'm serving and ministering doesn't mean God takes a break on working in my heart. During the 1st day of the Father heart I shed some tears and God was just meeting with me again and it was great. But it was just this last Thursday where God answered a prayer I've been praying for a long time. It was healing life's hurts week and the teaching had been good. It was during the ministry time and I was just praying for my small group guys and after i prayed for them I just took a step back and completely broke and the tears just flowed and flowed. This was something I'd been crying out for, for the last year and God completely met with me and I love the way he does it when we least expect it. So although I've been pouring out loads, he is continually pouring back in
Things are going really well here. I'm part of a fantastic team of small group leaders and supported and mentored by an amazing senior staff. The students are a fantastic bunch of people. I'm being given loads of opportunities with worship and different things. I'm where God wants me to be and I'm loving it. I went to my first baseball game on Tuesday and that was brilliant. We got on the big screen 7 times, it was great. God is completely blessing me and I'm having a blast.
