Today in chapel a testimony was shared about a group of people on a boat who really wanted to see a whale; recognizing that it is not whale season at this time, they settled on a porpoise. Standing at the rail of the boat deck, they bowed their heads and one of them prayed for a porpoise. Not more than 10 seconds later, a porpoise jumped out of the water. As the witness of this said "You ask for a porpoise, God can give you a porpoise!" The story was really comical but what really struck me was the faith; the faith that the group possessed in hoping for something as silly as a porpoise. The leader went on to joke about "The PORPOISE Driven Life" (HAH! :))and other things, but the faith really stuck with me. God is doing some amazing things on this campus as of late, and I am sure the devil is having a fit, but we are winning!

XD just returned from a week long trip to New York City. I am so envious of their  experience there, not because  they were in such a beautiful place, but because they got so many oppertunities to share God and grow in their faith. I am so blessed to hear their stories and see the light in their eyes since they have been back. Urban ministry calls to my heart so much, and I often wonder what God will do with that passion. On their trip 13 people made first time commitments; PRAISE THE LORD!! :)

Today was a pretty nice day but around dinner time it started sprinkling. Fall sprinkles are YUCKY because its cold, wet and gloomy....but despite it, spirits are high. It's starting to get dark around 6:30 here, which is super lame, but I love Fall!! (Even though Ive decided Fall in Michigan is so much better!!) 

A test and a midterm tomorrow...better get to studying. :)
