Today's wet, dreary weather has me wanting to be at home, curled up with hot chocolate and the BBC version of Pride and Prejudice. But, I guess I must love being a missionary, because here I am on-campus anyway! Here are some quick stories from my day so far:
Last week, we gave away some scholarships for students to SEEK2013. This morning, I was able to get the information to Joanna, who won the full scholarship, and told her to let me know when she registered. Within 30 minutes I had a text saying "Ok I just registered! I was too excited to wait :)"
Just a bit ago, I met with Paulin, an international student who heard about SEEK at Mass 2 weeks ago. She was so excited about the opportunity to attend SEEK and couldn't stop smiling while we talked about it. Paulin also won a scholarship to reduce her registration. As we were getting her registered, I shared that I am not a student, that I am here as a missionary. She stops, looks at me, and so sincerely says "thank you!" Wow. It's not very often that I receive that genuine thanks from students for being here on campus to share Christ with them!
As I thought about these stories, the song about grace falling like rain comes to mind. And the graces God has given me today are just like the rain outside, not in a huge, heavy downpour, but more a gentle shower. As I leave this post for discipleship with Kelly, my prayer is that each of you may also experience some sort of gentle grace today. Thanks for reading!
