Wow, so today was the happiest I have ever been this whole year
(I know it's only been 12 days haha). I think I've totally fallen in love with my brothers and sisters in Living Water Fellowship
. Their warm welcomes, cheerful and inviting faces, and soft true loving hearts make me insanely joyous! The happiness spread from my ears (literally... haha my ears were red) into the deepest parts of my heart and it brightens my life here at Penn. Today, I felt like a different man, totally free from the accumulated stress I would build up here and free from the worries that constantly inhibit me from experiencing the new and exciting opportunity that God has given me in Philly. I think today, I was the "Young" that I felt like disappeared after the first week of orientation. I sure missed myself and it was great to be back. (I know this is so melodramatic 
but I'm being creative here! And sincere! lol) So today we went over testimonies in our small group. It's amazing to know the before/how/after stories of how my friends came to have a relationship w/Jesus. I think their testimonies helped me a lot. Also, I am extremely proud of Olivia, Enid, Sam, and Mark
who led praise and shared their newly found knowledge from Urbana. It takes heart and courage and a strong love for Christ to do that . Yay lol So this week, I've been convicted of my actions and time with Christ. I've definitely fallen away and I've felt a disconnection between Jesus and me. After I noticed my status, I didn't do anything to fix it. I just acknowledged it, yet convinced myself that I'd be okay and went through the busy days like nothing had changed. But this week, my brothers and sisters in Christ, through Christ have shown me where I have gone wrong and what the glory of God can do for each and every one of us. For that, I am thankful.
I'm in love God is love -
Sarah Y said something today that hit me (or something similiar to this lol):
"They loved me not because they needed me but because of their love for God which resulted in love for me." I leave on a happy note Jesus Rules~!
