pizza and contentment

today i had a wonderful reminder of why i enjoy college ministry so much. we are planning a christmas party for the dorms in 10 days or so, and tonight a few of our leading students came to the house to eat some pizza and brainstorm for the party.

we ate some really good pizza (pepperonis with jalapinos (sp?)) and had some great laughs, but what i loved the most was the excitement in the room as we threw around both good and bad ideas. some say there are no bad ideas. i disagree. i had some bad ones tonight but am lucky enough to work with students who don't mind disagreement in a healthy way. we sat around my small living room for over 2 hours dreaming and laughing and planning and growing more and more excited about ministry with college students. i really think we are learning how God wants college ministry to look here in guam.

as we prayed after good discussion i felt very content. its honestly one of the first times i've felt content on guam, but thats what rushed into my brain and heart and self sitting there in my floor. i like what i'm doing. i like college students. i like Jesus for letting my job be him and them. and hopefully we'll get to throw a good party for over 100 college students in a few days.
