Home again

I'm back on OC's campus for my last semester of undergraduate work. Let's just say I'm both scared and excited about it. I'll most likely fake excitement if anyone asks me about it, just FYI. I also got my new Macbook Pro this morning. I've been playing on it for about 3 hours now. I'm starting to feel unproductive so as soon as I finish this post, I'm out of here.

About a week or two ago, I started thinking about Moses. (You know, the guy who led the Israelites out of Egypt [with God's power] and wandered with whiney people for 40 years in the desert?) Yeah, that guy. In particular, I have been thinking a lot about the time the Israelites spent near Mount Sinai. I mean, what was it like for Moses to go up on the mountain time after time with God and in His presence, and just descend to a complaining community? I wonder what it was like for Moses to go through that. To me, I think it's very similar to the feeling I get after coming back from Camp Blue Haven. However, this past summer it was just different. I spent 10 weeks with God, yes, but I also spent 10 weeks with Christ living through others I worked with. Incredible doesn't even begin to describe the experience I had there this past summer. And now, as I came down the mountain, I can't help but wonder and worry about how God is going to use me. At the same level as I was used at Camp Blue Haven? That's the exciting part! I am now looking for areas here in the "world" to reach out to those who need Christ's love and example shown to them. I sure hope He reveals it to me quickly though...
