From Kelli: Finally

my first question is-where is jodi? did i miss something.. cuz i know she's in spain, but she has internet and such, no? and jimmy?

Sorry I've been MIA guys. my computer has so many downs since school got out and it's been a while for me to get it sorted out. Been trying to read all your guyses lovely posts, but that's been keeping me busy as it is!

just a little info on me: I'm staying in ann arbor this summer working at the hospital as a nurses' aid, solely by God's grace did I get this super de dooper job. So many great encounters with God and with the patients, though conflicted because the patient may say they believe, but then act horribly to the nurses. I know we are not perfect, but, for lack of a better way to put it, it looks bad on Christians. That's just the most recent story, there are many more good ones too :D

With work schedule, it's been a real time balance (having 3 12 hours days/week). I can honestly say I've been to every small group bible study! however, still need prayer/discipline for my own time with God. I've been making small steps such as downloading daily devotions apps on my itouch (since i'm on it so much as it is -.-) and journaling. Thanks guys for all the time you've already put into this blog! It's weird, but it makes me feel that we are all connected and thinking together, to an extent.

one point I'd like to make is the importance of sabbath. We read Hebrews 4 at sg this past week and It really struck me. I know all our sabbath's (-es?) are different, but what would a whole day of just listening to god and separating from the technology and distractions of people do for my spiritual life? This is especially do-able for me at least. Sadly I haven't put it into practice yet, but WHEN i do, y'all will be the firsts to know :D:D:D I really encourage you guys to do the same. we need to ENTER his presence and make every effort for Him.

AWESOME UPDATE. lloyd and I went and did contact evangelism on saturday. after lots of rejections, we met some really cool people and lloyd got a name to contact on fb with follow up and we met a phd student who just moved to aa from boston, hopefully he will be coming to some events over this summer etc. ps his name is jorge (hor-hey) pray for him!!! :]

ps- were we supposed to read a book/do fasting or something this summer? also, does everyone have oovoo? maybe we could attempt a group chat/prayer sometime! mainly with diane and caleb since idk about jodi. ESP before Mark leaves?! :D
