Christmas Parties and Other Thoughts

Last Thursday RUF at UF had its last official event of the semester: Christmas Party! There was a great dinner, many desserts, and a white elephant gift exchange. It was a fun night and a wonderful ending to the fall semester. It made me very thankful for what God has been doing in my life this fall, and excited to see him work in the semesters to come.

It was a good ending because I knew it was not a true ending. It would be very hard for me, at this point, to walk away from this RUF and its amazing group of students. I am very thankful that this is still a beginning, that I am going to be serving these students for another year and a half. I believe next semester will be even better than the fall: I know my way around (for the most part:), have relationships to disciple a lot of the guys, am going to be leading a Bible study for guys who are newer to the ministry, and am at a place to better reach and equip those at UF with Christ. Lord willing, he continues to bless and grow this ministry so that graduates looking back would not simply remember a few good Christmas parties, but would be able to say that Christ became the love of their lives in college. I hope you have a wonderful Christmas season, and are able to reflect on past blessings and look foreward to future graces in Christ!
