Well herro errbody. How's life been treating you? Everyone getting excited for school? So what have I been up to lately? I think most of you know. I have been busy posting in the mass FB thread. Mainly because work is boring. I know I've told some people, but I might as well let everyone know: I'm working on campus at the Pre-Award Services office. The other people that work in the office are grant specialists and are trying to help professors at KSU to get grants approved. I am basically a secretary. My main task is to go around campus to various professors and deans to get signatures on the grant proposals. I also run files in between the administrative buildings, which are just across the street from one another. Other than that I just do boring office busy work. Like enter data, prepare shipments, etc. It's really boring. Today there has been nothing to do. Absolutely nothing. And when there's nothing to do I end up reading a lot of cnn.com. Which is also boring. So if I post a lot in the thread you know why now. Sorry if I've been annoying anyone. :-) (smiley of choice)
So other than that what have I been up to? Not much, really. I moved into a new place a little while ago. I'm really excited about living there. I was living with my friends from high school, who like to party, and I moved in with Michael (Jen's fiance) and TJ (another guy from CRU that I led a Bible Study with last year). I think the atmosphere is going to be a lot more conducive to spiritual growth, which is what I'm most excited about. We are planning to have a roommate Bible Study, which I think is going to be awesome! Plus, these roommates will be better in general for keeping the place clean, washing dishes, etc. It got kind of out of hand last year, and toward the end it was a big hassle. Oh and another big plus -- Jen comes over a lot and sometimes cooks for us! So that's always fun.
In other news, the guy who was going to be the worship leader at CRU this year did not get back in to KSU. He had been on academic probation and they didn't let him come back. Now Mike and myself are wondering what is going to come of it. There will be a leader's meeting I think next Thursday and I'm sure it will get brought up. Mike and I have been talking amongst ourselves and honestly, there isn't really anyone in CRU right now who can step up and fill the spot that the last guy took up. So prayer for that would be nice. Right now, as it stands, we have a 2 bassists, a violinist, a guy who plays a lot of stuff (not including guitar), 2 drummers, and various singers. No one who plays guitar as a primary instrument. I know some chords, as does Mike, and a couple other guys but we're kind of in a pickle. I will gladly be the organizer of the team but I don't think I can sing too well (haven't had a class since sixth grade) and I'm not confident enough in my guitar skills (though I'd be willing to try). So in short, we need God's guidance, because it's kind of a mess right now. I have faith that we will get everything worked out though. I'm not worried about it.
One thing I am worried about, though, is the fact that with school and work I'm going to be busy everyday from 8-5. I have been working that shift right now and to be honest it has affected my spiritual life. Keep those hours and throw in studying and I don't know what its going to look like. If I have to I will quit my job, but I'd rather not do that. So prayer for focus and guidance on what God wants my semester to look like. sigh I just miss the African days where all I did was wake up, have time with the Lord, then go on campus...
Anyway this has been long enough. Good way to kill some time. Leave me a comment! I want to hear from all of you! I miss you guys a bunch.
Lots of love,
Nate
