Well summer is officially over and school has cranked back up here in Nac. We have been sooo busy since we started staff meeting a week and a half ago.
It has been three years since we have been on campus for the beginning of the fall, which was the first fall semester after Autumn and I were married. The Lord has brought us through, and provided for us so much in the last 2 years to have us on campus for this semester, and we are so thrilled and blessed to be here.
We kicked off the year last Tuesday with a meeting with all of our leadership students, for which we call the “Roundtable”. It was a very productive meeting which resulted in everyone leaving pumped for what God would do through us this year.
We talked extensively on being outward focused as one of our goals for the year. We planned discipleship for our students, and committed to setting aside our social schedules to pour into the freshmen, and go beyond just making the new student feel wanted, and to making them accepted and caring for them.
We also talked about how we could best serve the students involved with us and how we wanted to operate as if we flipped the traditional business model (the boss is in charge of managers who are in charge of employees who are in charge of others employees etc…). We wanted to make sure that us are staff aren’t their boss, and that they don’t feel like they are better, or in charge of the rest of Cru, rather that us as staff are at the bottom serving and enabling our leadership students to server and enable the students in Cru to reach their peers for Christ.
We also planned Bible Studies for we we are starting our with 7 on campus studies, which is very exciting! I don’t remember having this many trying to be started ever.
Great meeting, but when Thursday finally came around the talking stopped and it was time to get to work!…
