Chapel and the Library Books

So today at chapel may just be my most favorite chapel ever.

This morning Fiat Lux (I think that's how you spell it) did an accoustic set, which was alright.  Then, and this is super exciting!, the SEU wind ensemble performed a Middle Eastern piece called "Arabesque" (again, idk about these international word spellings).  And finally, and this is my favorite part, an organization called Broken Voices came.  A man named Andrew got up, shared some of his story, his passion, his desires.  He shared a little about their outreach.  And then he mentioned the Idea Farm, an event held by Broken Voices.

Idea Farm is a four-day lakeside retreat that students go to in July, where they pour out their big idea for a service or outreach, something inventive and impacting, and Broken Voices works with them to help them see it come true!

I don't so much have a "big idea" on my heart, but when they announced that Andrew would be at lunch at 11 o'clock for anyone who wanted to join, I went.  I wish I could say I jumped at it, but I was quite hesitant.

It ended up being like a 20-person setting, though, very fun and very fascinating.  We took part in such intriguing conversation, shared about ourselves and our hearts, and sharing our excitement for God's plans for our lives.

So, in essence, this morning was really good. =~)

(During the time when I was trying to work up the courage to go have lunch with Andrew, I went to the library and had Jesus time.  After Jesus time, I caught sight of two different books: Difficult People (which tells you how to effectively work with, well you know, difficult people) and Get Out of Your Own Way at Work...and Help Others Do the Same (there are chapters in this one on people pleasing, how to say no, how not to panic, and many other helpful things).  So we'll see how it goes.

I'm so excited!
