Bridge Thanksgiving Dinner!

Yum! and Holy Cow we had a lot of people there! It was a great turn out and a really good evening. We had probably 55-65 people there last night and most brought something to share.

Drama!

Well I really think it is somewhat funny how when you ask for God to show where you fit, he shows you where you don't. It is frustrating but somehow it is easier to see and understand. But I still lack the answer to my question, where do I fit? I know it is not here, there, this or that. In some ways I am not sure if there are too many options left. Currently my life is surrounded by drama (I work with college Kids) and I wish I could just scream get over it. In society and in the church we have become a people that are so over sensitive that when someone rebukes us and calls us out with the effort of sharpening us we become angry and bitter, or go and gossip because it hurt our feelings. Rather than evaluating the statement and working to resolve it with the person! Do I do this yes, I think we all do.

Baking Night Adventure

So tonight (last night) was the girls baking night!! Fun. Well it was eventually! First I was running a little late and once I got to the Bridge I was really trying to hurry! As I walked in the lights all went out. I thought the guys were playing a joke, no joke they blew a fuse. So the party that was suppose to begin at 6 started around 6:30 because we had to run to the grocery and get a new fuse. But once that was taken care of we were good! There were 8 girls there and we made lots of desserts and had a great night of giggles and bonding. There was only a small fire, lol.


After the girls night we had a staff night. Note to self it is way cold at Midnight and Ice cream is not a good idea! Well we were going to get ice cream per my suggestion but we did not! we went and got burritos instead! It was a decent time where we were able to hang out and goof around!

Are 5 hour meeting required? Really?

Staff meetings seem to be marathons why I am not really sure! Last night we met to discuss stuff for next semester and what should of been an hour meeting turned into a 5 hour meeting. We get things accomplished it is not like we goof off all that much but really they are forever long!! Oh well I guess it will have to do!

My Mind and Meeting Moments

So this weekend was suppose to be my "vacate Oxford" but in all reality it turned into a stressful day in the Ox Bubble! My morning began with me being started because my alarm was set but I did not know it was! It scared me. After the slight heart attack I began my day by running by Chad's to get the keys to the Association so I could print the bulletins for church. So I left to go print them and then I realized that I had misspelled a word and forgot an "a" so I turned around to go get it fixed. Then I had 2 more rounds of turn a-rounds because I forgot others things and stuff was not working properly. Once I finally got the things printed I was behind and had missed other things. I got to the church and folded the bulletins. My frustration level was a little higher than I would of liked. So I chose to be keep to myself and allow my frustration to erase. Only to be interrupted by a sorority who supposedly had the room reserved when we had it scheduled...Ahh I love Miamis Campus Scheduling!! So aside from the stress of the night my life has been interesting this weekend.

Now I sit in a room with my other coworkers or staff members. I sit here frustrated and holding my tongue because we are sitting here running in circles beating a dead horse. Where did we fail where did we fall? It is a slow fade. We as a staff sit hear grasping for straws. My heart is broken and at a loss. I want a spot I desire a place where I fit and to feel God has prepared me for that place. And right now I feel as if I am unprepared for everything. And as a staff we are so concerned with us accomplishing a task so it doesn't fail that we forget that we need to allow each other to breath and then to lead we have no desire any more. Right now I do what I do because they need to be done. So now what? where is my renewed heart how are we as a team working to build each other up, encourage each other, hold each other accountable or spur each other on.
