Amazing Grace

This week's theme for Oxford Uni is Amazing Grace and it's been really awesome thus far! There have been lunch time talks (with lunch provided), a jazz banquet on Saturday night, and evening talks so far. I haven't made it to everything, but I've heard amazing things about all of the events so far. After the jazz banquet, I heard of one student who decided to give his life to Jesus! It has been amazing seeing students tell their friends about God's gift of grace, and seeing students realize that it is by grace that we are saved!

Yesterday I went to one of the lunchtime talks. It was really nice, if only I wasn't such a klutz! One would think it wouldn't be that hard to balance a paper plate and a drink when I was sitting down right?! Well, after knocking my orange to the ground and it rolling away, making somewhat of a distraction... I decide to get my drink, squash or Kool-Aid, and quench my thirst. But instead of actually making it to my mouth, somehow I decided to dump 1/2 of my drink on my lap! And of course this was at the beginning of the talk... so instead of making a commotion/distraction, I decided not to move until after the talk was through. Afterwards I was still soaked and it looked like I'd seriously peed my pants!! It was uncomfortable until a student/friend let me come to her room and use her hair dryer to dry my jeans! Anywho, just thought I'd share my random story...

Tonight I'm off to London to check out an open house at Birkbeck University. I'm gonna look at grad school programs to see if that is something that I would like to do in the nearish future... Please pray for me and my future decisions. I'm really clueless as to what I should be doing this next year and beyond. But I'm also really excited to see what God is gonna take me!
