mercies

it is such a rollar coaster ride here.  everyday there are so many ups and downs with the girls.  nothing is constant, nothing that is except God.  

it is definitely a struggle to not get depressed here because there is always someone who is having a rough day or is down, and a lot of times it brings the whole house down.  i'm definitely learning that i need to be constantly leaning on God.  these girls are weighing on my heart and my heart is breaking for them.  

in one of my classes we discussed the difference between the red sea and the dead sea...

...the red sea....has water flowing into it, and is also has water flowing out of it...

...the dead sea...has water flowing into it, but has nothing flowing out of it...

relating that to here/and life...as disciples of Christ we need to be filled (flowing in), but also we need to overflow into others lives (flowing out) otherwise, we become stale and dead...like the dead sea.

i had this past weekend off, it was fun to hang out with my mentor, watch some movies and stay in a real house!  also i was able to try out a different church which was good. also i had a good jam session with my house director's!

i have come down with a cold/cough or something so if you could be praying for health that would be sweet!  

also prayer for my room, that we would connect and grow more as a room

and for the unity of the bigs
