hmmmmm

So a coulple of weeks ago I was meeting with a mother about beginning to tutor her son.  He is very intelligent, but his home life is very chaotic and he is failing.  In the middle of me telling her what I could offer her son, she out of nowhere asks me, "What do you want your life to be about?"  I managed to come up with some answer that made her smile, but I just kept thinking about that question.  I have been thinking about lots of possible career choices and I've never put into those words.  I've realized that I have such a heart for teenagers for a reason.  My tutoring is way more than helping them to make an A in Geometry.  And the question is so much more important than what I decide to do for a paycheck.

It's beginning to look a lot like....

They've put the Christmas decorations up downtown.  Made me smile.  I've been listening to Christmas music since Halloween.  Love this time of year.  Really excited to get to go home for the first time in forever for Thanksgiving and eat a ton.  Speaking of eating a ton, can't wait to finally get off steroids, whenever that happens...I weigh 202 lbs right now...and that is unacceptable.

So...I'm home.  Refreshed and exhausted.  Such a great time with kids this weekend.  The gospel was proclaimed so clearly.  I am too tired to write much...maybe later.  Monday morning is quickly approaching.

new things

Well I have a new car and what feels like a new job.  Twenty tutoring hours this week at almost twenty different locations.  I am looking intently for some tutors to help me out...let me know if you know of any, knoxville folk.  I don't so much mind the work, although that much teaching is draining, I just want to be available and flexible to my Younglife kids and the students that I have tutored for several years.

I gearing up for Windy Gap next weekend.  Trying to bank up the sleep I will lose.  I also have to go to Houston this weekend for a check up.  My next couple of weeks are going to be crazy, but I wouldn't have it any other way. 

Please pray for the following sophomore guys that will be in my cabin at camp.  Pray that it would be a great time for them and that their hearts would be receptive to the gospel that is going to be so clearly displayed.  Pray for travel, meaningful conversations, the crazy chaos, and all the other things that surround this weekend.
