On Tuesday, Nick, Rachel, and I hopped in a tiny Ford Focus at 6:30am and headed for Grace College. Nick was teaching a class for the youth ministry department and Rachel and I were helping. We also had high hopes to chart out the
remaining school year and dream big about what God might be leading us to in
High School Ministries.
When we arrived to Grace, we unloaded our things at the Philemon Center, a house for guests and missionaries, and soon went over to teach the class.
At one point on Tuesday, we had to go buy food at the grocery store to hold us over for the next couple days. Since we had skipped lunch by accident, we shopped on an empty stomach. We bought some funny stuff. Our favorite impulse buy was 1 and 1/2 pound of american cheese. The guy behind the deli counter was SO arrogant about his cheeses. Nick asked for american cheese and he aggressively asks, "Which kind? Orange or White...Bet you didn't know we had TWO kinds." Then he got fussy about how thin to slice the cheese, so when Nick said "thin" he went overboard and sliced it into a sliver so skinny that it was transparent. We corrected our order but man - the guy cut a lot of cheese!
...and he had a beard net, which was gross.
Another part of our week included Steph Lawson's volleyball game on Wednesday night. The Grace Lancers played hard and won two games out of the five. Steph was a warrior out there. The game was complete with pep band, half time challenge where anyone could go on court and serve a ball, consession stand, and cheer team. Wow, it was fun :)
Now we're back, tired but refreshed. Praise God!
