Yes, I know. This is a very late edition of the daily planet newspaper blog, but I have been busy. See, we had this retreat the other week for Messiah College. It was a blast. I love the new freshman! They are all SMART: Simply Amazing. See, here's the thing, you can just TELL with some people. And I believe that I am a pretty good judge of character. And I can tell you this: this freshman batch is so overflowing with potential of leadership that it is thrilling to watch. What will happen? What will they become? They can accomplish anything, I just know it. There is just one problem with potential: my friend Aliza always said that the problem with potential is that it means that you aren't fulfilling it. It means that you are capable of so much, but are you doing anything about it? It's like a powerplant. It is capable of providing electricity for a whole city, it has the potential to change the entire landscape...but if it isn't turned on, sayang lang. I really hope to see the new Messiah students just grow and really step it up and be the leaders they are. As we say in C.S. Lewis, we should lead with Honor. LEAD WITH HONOR. Think of that. Dwell on that. Really think of what that means.
In other news, I've been sick for the past few days and have been jumping back and forth from asthma to fever. And we're moving soon. Man, I'm hoping we are going to be able to move soon because I want to be living in our new apartment already and just use it to encourage peopel and make dinner ad stuff. I think that God is by far going to be able to use us more when we live nearer.
Also, this is what else I'm so excited about: I'm just finding myself so full of joy despite being sick because of all that God is doing for us and through me. It is such a reminder of why I shouldn't struggle with self worth issues (which we all go through from time to time) because God made me who I am to accomplish these tasks. It's been so amazing.
Anyway, signing out. Will update again in two days. Later my friends!
