The Last Semester Begins

After a month away from all my responsibilities, it was strange to arrive back on campus and hit the ground running so quickly. Like the beginning of any other semester, I have just been in shock with the workload sitting before me. I've been spending much of my time thinking back on my past semesters and realizing this is my final run. It's my last registration, my last time to run through Rush Week with the Chiotes, my last set of roommates, and many other things. After three and a half years, I am coming around the final stretch.

To be honest, given the speed at which things are hitting me, Refuge has been the last thing on my mind. It wasn't until I was driving up to Second Baptist around 8:15 last night that it hit me I was about to preach. I walked into the church as I normally do to meet our prayer team but what I found surprised me. I walked in to find the back stairwell full of other students who were there to pray. I instantly knew it was going to be an amazing night. A rush of excitement hit me and Klayton as we realized God was in the process of doing an amazing work. I am so grateful for the opportunity to lead such an incredible ministry and I thank God for everyone who has sacrificed their time and efforts to make Refuge a possibility.

Amazing things are happening!
