It has been so long since I’ve written a blog post!! I think
the past few weeks have had some of the deepest meaning to me of the entire
year. Urban entry taught humility, love and to have a teachable heart through
all of life. Thanksgiving break taught me how easy it could be to fall into
temptation without the Link Year Bubble, and the impact I have on others,
particularly those younger than me. And how much I’m gonna miss Link Year in
May. I think it would be the best graduation gift ever if Donyes told us Link
Year was officially expanded into a two-year program. So I got back on Saturday
to start working at Hollister, what a joy that was, and the island was dead. I
hung out the entire next day with my buddies Link Vito and Link Hannah Grace,
so fun. Until my life happened and everything went awkward. But whatever. Everyone
else got back on Monday, to great fanfare, and we all met up in the chapel to
do advent calendars! On these calendars we have nice things to do for other
people for each day leading up to Christmas. If you’re on mine, you’ll know in
a few days! Tuesday was our Monday and we had accountability and small groups. Wednesday
we had Brian Wang as our speaker for the week (Wednesday and Thursday) and he
taught on the three things we should understand as we follow Christ. First, we
need to deny ourselves. Basically, this means we should put others before
ourselves. Second, we need to be completely dedicated to following Him. I can’t
say that any more clearly than I just did… Third, we need to willingly be
obedient to His commands when He gives them. No questions asked, just as
Abraham did when he was told to sacrifice his son, Isaac. And thus is the
rundown of my week. Until next time peeps!
Side note: It snowed today!! After class though, so we didn’t
have a snow day, it only messes with our TGIF.
