Thoughts on a day that is windy!

Oh how I love this city! Some times, some moments I forget and then days happen where I think this is greatness in a town.

Today was one of those days for me. Today was a day when I normally sleep late and do not leave home, but instead I woke up at 730, was on campus by 945 and then had what would be a wonderful next few hours.

I stopped at the post office, and mailed some letters to some dear friends up here in Idaho. Then I pushed the button to the 3rd floor of the CUB (wsu) and prayed the whole way to the top.

You see since coming back, WSU had not contacted me about 'GNO'. The officers for panhellenic changed over the break. I got nervous on Thursday when my email had not been returned to me, I got worry something got lost in the transition. But there was nothing I could do on Thursday to help the situation, so I just prayed and tried to go to sleep.

That did not work for me, sleep never came. Funny, well maybe more God thing is that I had just read in Esther where the King was trying to sleep and it never came so instead he read the chronicles of his time as a King. If you read that chapter (6) you see the irony of what he was reading, reading that he had never honored Mordecai. THat ideas that were brought to him the irony of him deciding in this moment to honor Mordecai and to have Haman be the one to do the honor. Oh how God works by not letting us sleep. In the study I am doing there are women of all ages there and at the hearing of this topic they all joined in on how GOd had used sleepless nights to bring them to their knees and to bring them to a topic of prayer. As I sat and listen to them talk I did not get it, I had never lost sleep over something. I was at a lose for what was being said.

Last night I got it. Through sleepless hours I was able to pray over the idea that maybe this event had been lost in the shuffle of changing of officers. I was able to pray that during this meeting hearts would still be soften to the idea of "GNO"

Well 45 min after I walked into the office, I walked out in utter dismay at how amazing this God is that we serve.

YOu see for years Resonate has tried to be an influence on campus, for years we have been trying to meet the needs of students in a new way in a way that would leave a good impression, in a way that the word church would be a good thing to remember.

We have handed out pancakes, fruit snacks, cheese crackers, fruit by the foot oh and lets not forget the granola bars. We have tried and prayed to be a positive influence.

After this meeting I learned that God is answering our prayers. The sorority girl I meet with knew Resonate from the pancakes. Said that the past officer had mentioned the event but not in to much detail. That she was nervous because it was a 'church' event but then found out it was through Resonate and was so excited about it. She saw the new promo for the event and fell in love with the idea of what we were doing. She said since she did not know what we were doing they were needing to plan an event cover both sex and alcohol and this would do that. So instead of just freshman and sophomores, she would let it count for juniors too! We walked down stairs and booked rooms, we talked about the setting and the environment we were trying to create and she lit up with joy! We set down and finalized it all and as I walked way she said "Liz I am really excited about this event and the idea behind it"

Words that I have long to hear, prayers I saw answered in that moment.

Minutes later she called to see if we could meet up on monday to talk some more about it. After that she asked if thrusday i could come by and bring the promo stuff while she was there!

Prayers being answered.

Ah! I good day in Pullman to say the least. GOd is going great things and in 12 days lives will be changed!

Please continue to pray for these two nights!

ps
On monday I will be speaking in front of the greek life women of U of I. Pray that their hearts would get excited about the coming week!
