Yes, I am alive!

These past couple of weeks have been crazy. Here is an update on life for you E!
1. I went to a D-Now last weekend and it was wonderful! God is so good!
2. Some really cool things have been happening with evangelism
3. I had EGGPLANT!!! Real honest to goodness Chinese eggplant! Yum!
4. I am going to New York City in 1 day!
5. I have almost completed my first year in seminary. Can you believe it?
6. Becca and I had some pretty awesome hang out time while I learned all about veggie foods!!

While studying for my Congregational Song final I came across this hymn. I love the words and feel like they really apply to my life right now. Emily, I am highlighting a part I know you will appreciate!! It made me think of you since you are graduating in 25 days! Love you! Sorry it's so long! But it's all good!

Take Time to Be Holy
Speak oft with thy Lord;
Abide in Him always,
And feed on His Word:
Make friends of God's children,
Help those who are weak;
Forgetting in nothing His blessing to seek (read Psalm 27 here)

Take time to be holy,
The world rushes on; Spend much time in secret
With Jesus alone:
By looking to Jesus
Like Him thou shalt be;
Thy friends in thy conduct His likeness shall see

Take time to be holy,
Let Him be thy guide,
And run not before Him
Whatever betide;
In joy or in sorrow
Still follow thy Lord,
And looking to Jesus,
Still trust in His Word

Take time to be holy,
Be calm in thy soul;
Each tho't and each motive
Beneath His control;
Thus led by His Spirit
To fountains of love,
Thou soon shalt be fitted
For service above
