September happenings

Let me start out by confessing to you that I'm not in an inspired-writing mood today, so I'm not really a writer anyways, but today is really more information-giving than interesting to read :-)But I did want to update you! Read at your own risk!

A couple things that have happened since the last post:

I flew to Dallas for one of my best friend's wedding! Since we were only a few weeks into the semester, it seemed like a hard time to take off for a few days. But also, the beginning of the semester can be difficult, and so it was a blessing to have time off to celebrate with friends and spend time together for such a wonderful occasion!

The next weekend was RUF's Fall Conference, which took place at beautiful Camp Greystone, just south of Ashville, in North Carolina. We had about 20 students from Davidson there. Conference came at the end of a couple of very fully and stressfull weeks for many students, and so the opportunity to be away from campus and spend time getting to know other students in a beautiful environment was excellent.
Our speaker, Tom Cannon (pastor of Red Mountain Church in Birmingham, AL) talked about the sufficiency of Scripture. After our Large Group sessions, we broke into small groups with our schools to talk about the sermons. I was so encouraged by the way the girls opened up with one another and were willing to talk about what challenged them, and to show where God is at work in their lives. I was also encouraged by the opportunity to get to know some of the freshmen girls better, and the chance to get to know some of the other girls in a different environment. I've discovered that car trips stimulate the best conversations, and I'm all for more in the future!

I've posted a lot more pictures from Fall Conference on the Davidson-RUF website, if you're interested in seeing them. I'd also direct you there if you're interested in checking out the website and reading more about RUF at Davidson in general!

As always, thank you for your prayers and support! Please continue to pray for the semester. I've been seeing God at work in some of these students in ways I never could have imagined!

Please keep praying for the work here! And please pray too for my financial situation. I am so incredibly grateful by God's provision for me here, and some of the timely gifts I've recieved recently. It's humbling, and I don't like asking, even though I know this is what I have been called to do right now. Please continue to be in prayer, since I'm still about $6000 behind for the year. Pray that God would make me bold in asking, and that I would be dilligent in taking the time that I need to work on support raising.

Until next time,

Anna
