Late Nights, White House, and Ministry Teams

Dear Friends and Family,

Life at college, though plagued with late night paper writing and early morning classes, is going well. All of my classes I am doing well in and suspect that this semester will be just as good as last. Most of my teachers are amazing, except for my English professor whom I do not like all that much. He tends to over-analyze literature and be redundant. However, he is a fairly good professor and challenges all of his students.

The roomies are good and I am no longer being baked alive at night by the heat being at 90 degrees. Last weekend, my roommate, a few guys from our dorm, a few girls from our sister dorm, and I went to Washington, D.C. We all got a tour of the White House and I stood on the front portico of the White House! Exciting! If you want to see pictures from that trip then go to http://liberty.facebook.com/album.php?aid=28981&l=623f4&id=531860854 AND http://liberty.facebook.com/album.php?aid=28996&l=6b3e8&id=531860854.


Many of you know that I am planning on auditioning for ministry teams here at Liberty. If I get through both rounds of auditions, I get put into a team and also get a full-ride scholarship for the 2008-2009 school year. This would be a great way to use my talents to be a blessing as well as receive a blessing from the school. However, I don’t know whether I am doing this for the scholarship or to glorify God. I really don’t want to have selfish motives, but this money would be a great help. I really want to use my talents in order to minister to others. “Every way of a man is right in his own eyes, but the LORD weighs the heart.” Proverbs 21:2 God wants my motives to be pure and I want my motives to be pure, but are they? Just the fact that I want to please God and truly minister to others in this way might mean that my heart is indeed in the “right place.” But I figured that you all could pray not that I “pass” the audition process but rather that my heart be changed and that Christ is shown through me in all I do. My audition may be changed from Monday the 25th to Thursday the 28th. As it gets closer, I will let you know the exact date and time.

Have a great Monday and a wonderful rest of the week!
