Sorry that this blog is really late. I put the PRO in procrastinate.
I have been really wanting to leave an impact for Jesus on this campus before I leave to student teach next semester. As I look back over that last four years, I can see so many opportunities that God gave me where I have chosen the easy way and not to follow in his directions. I feel that God has used me to do some good work for him, but I coulda/shoulda been more willing to completely give my all to him holding nothing back. Now this 20 for change has opened my eyes to a way that I can have leave an impression for Jesus on some of the students here at Central.
I had heard about how a group of students was selling cookies to support an orphanage in Sierra Leone. I was planning on buying a dozen for myself to be delivered on study day. Then some things didn't work out with the group I had planned on sharing my money with and I was left to find a new idea. As an RA, I realized that I could buy cookies for all of the residents on my floor. I ordered one dozen cookies for every suite on my floor in Scholte. I decided to write a small note for every resident as well. I am currently working on that and should have it done soonish. This is proving harder than I thought it would be, because I do not know all of my residents as well as I should to be able to write as personal of a note as I want to. I want them to know about Jesus' love and that I care about them. Please keep this in prayer that God will give me the words to say to each individual on my floor. God has also laid a few other people on my heart to do this for including some freshman not on my floor that I have had some interactions with and a few seniors that I use to be really close with, but have since grown a lot further from.
Thank you for your prayer. I am praying that this will be a blessing to someone and that at least one person will be encouraged in their faith or even find a new faith in God.
Thanks,
Tim Freed
