day 4 & day 5... (even if it's day 6 already)

Dang it, I'm falling behind guys. I can't believe I'm the one sending out the post prompts -_-

Day 4: Schedule + Why's
Well, let's see. Everything I do is on my Google Calendar, generally...

7:05 AM - Wakey, wakey!
7:30 AM - Setup for Sunday Celebration/run-throughs for service. Why? Partly because somebody's gotta do it, and because I believe that we want nothing to come between people and hearing God's Word and internalizing it.
8:45 AM - Pre-celebration prayer. People who serve on Sunday mornings usually come together to pray for service before service. I always thought people who pray for a prayer meeting are strange, but... we do this because we want to prepare our hearts personally to serve others (out of our relationship with God! - John 15) and to ask for God to protect us and to do what He wants during our service.
9:30 AM - Sunday Celebration. Two services, back-to-back. I do this to serve the people who come, and to learn myself! I fall asleep a lot so I might be the person most likely to need 2 services... It's a service because people are being served - the truth, the Word of God, and a meeting with God along with other people that can't be replicated at a football game... and I help with some of the backdrops.
2:30 PM - Went to East Hall, sat down and did a little "studying". I think it always ends up with a flurry of e-mails and Google Reader by the time I got studying it was like 4. A couple friends joined me so we sat and studied and talked together for a little bit. Why? Because I love my friends and I have a responsibility as a student.
6:00 PM - YEAH - my tongue's still scarred from HOTPOT with my Community Summer Missions Project sub-team! Delicious. Because we had great experiences and grew together and were challenged together - we wanted to catch up.
9:30 PM - Was late to a 9:00 prayer for someone at North Quad. I'm doing this to join in with some people who have a heart to pray for someone and support, though I'm not sure how much of a huge personal conviction I have in this.
10:30 PM - Made a quick stop at East Hall to say hi to a few friends and give Paula her umbrella... then I decided I shouldn't be here because I was going to be tired the next morning, so I went home and studied the Bible a little before sleeping at 12.

Day 5: what am I looking forward to this week?
Hmm. A few people I know are visiting from out of town! One friend from my high school, people from Chicago an older brother from Florida, etc. And there's a lot of birthdays this week. And... at the end of this week, my college career is more or less over except one paper and one exam. ALMOST THERE!!
