Whatever became of August?

You may have noticed that the whole updating once a week thing has not been working out in such a stellar fashion. I think I will amend that to once a month so that I have a goal that actually might be accomplished (which may or may not be a philosophy - but really I do not need to make my blog s source of stress).

Things are going well in the Outlet. All of my human roomates have moved in and we are trying to get settled - my canine roommate decided this weekend that he will no longer be living with us so he moved back.

I did get the job I had been pursuing at Starbucks and I am thrilled about it. I started last Wednesday and it has been just as good of a fit as I was thinking it would be. Currently I am exhausted beyond all reason because I have been working opening (which is what I wanted) and my body has not yet learned how to fall asleep at a time that is reasonable for someone whose shift begins at 4:30a.

This is a big week with CCCi on campus. We have out first weekly meeting (woot cell groups which will hopefully be followed by pancakes and hanging out) then on Friday the first metro (hopefully followed by a women's slumber party and some sort of man thing - apparently guys don't do sleepovers - who knew?). It is very exciting! Hopefully Caitlyn and I will be able to follow up with the seventy something freshmen ladies we met at convocation before these things. It will be tough but life is like that sometimes.

Things I would love prayer about:
Unity in love among my roommates & discernment as we deal with our landlady.

That I will build strong and loving relationships with my co-workers (both at Starbucks and in Res Life).

That our first Cru meetings will propel us toward the direction God is leading our movement this year.
