thoughts, reflections, nonsense

it's been a veritable coon's age since i posted in the xa blog so i thought it was high time. God has been doing some really exciting things in xa this year and i'm even more excited to see what happens next semester. last night rachael and i had one of our best bible studies yet. it had little to nothing to do with the study, but one girl offered a story about her prayer language and that launched us into a wonderful discussion, which will tie nicely with what scott's preaching about tonight. for me it was just incredible to get to hear how God has touched these girls, as uniquely as the girls themselves. then nearing the end of the study, a different girl asked us our opinion on a moral dilemma and we discussed for another half an hour. it was just so good to stretch our conversatory (is that a word?) muscles and to feel closer to one another as a result.
