a post!
Our second conference is halfway over and I had a little free time so I thought I'd update a little about the week. After an amazing week at Milligan College in Tennessee, John and I headed to Savannah, Georgia. The drive was absolutely beautiful.
From Tennessee---->
All the way to Savannah, Georgia --->
We are staying at the Savannah College of Art and Design which has been absolutely amazing. The campus is beautiful and it has been a joy to spend time here. This is my first time in Georgia (or anywhere else in the southeast for that matter) and I continue to be astounded by my surroundings.
The campus itself seems to be in inner city Savannah. We haven't had a ton of time to take in the sights, but we HAVE been to a couple cool places. Savannah is like an historian's paradise! Today, John and I were walking back from lunch and without planning it, stumbled across a random revolutionary war fort AND a memorial to THE Kashmir Polaski!
OK honestly, if it weren't for John, I would've missed the sights entirely because I was too busy being hot (heat index 106).
Anyway, we're staying in a really sweet house on campus, complete with spiral stair case and air conditioning. Our house is on Pulaski square and we're living in Pulaski house. Strangely enough, the Pulaski memorial is within a couple mile's walking distance from the area. :) Here's a quick look at the outside of the house. If there's time, we'll stick some up from the inside.---
The rooms are amazing and we're totally being spoiled. The food is TOO good and i'll probably walk away weighing at least 50 pounds more than when i arrived.
So enough about the stuff. How bout somethin about the people?
We have a smaller group this week, but we're still having a good time. John and I were excited to find out that Joey and Jonathan from Roanoke Bible College (who were with us at Milligan) would be at Savannah.
So we followed them down here and are now sharing a room with them again. They are amazing guys and it has been nice to learn even more about them this week. The rest of the team is a lot of fun too. There's a pizza place down the road called The Mellow Mushroom, which has some of the most beautiful pizza I've had in a while, with a nice, laid back atmosphere. We all went there the first night and got to know each other a bit.
Went there twice in one weekend. Good times...good food....good people.
As far as my personal thoughts, I've had a lot of fun. I would be lying if I were to say this week has been easy. The two conferences have looked totally different from the location, all the way down to the way staff members interact. This isn't a bad thing, but it has meant that we've been faced with different sets of challenges than we had at Milligan. It hasn't been easy, but it has been good, i think...as if i could really understand everything that is going on around me. :)
Also, I just want to make a quick plug for the book i'm reading. Perelandra is currently blowing my mind. That's all :)
Not sure what else to say. God is good and doesn't change in the midst of any situation. We have been richly blessed. Please pray for us that we would trust in Him and remember that.
cya guys
love you and miss you all
