Prayer Day started at 8:30am and went till 3:00pm. We sang and prayed, heard a message from Charles Price. We took a break for lunch and then came back after. We prayed for God's goodness, the campus, the situation in Syria (God to make himself evident in it). It was pretty refreshing to praise the Lord through worship, especially when I'm missing home a lot. This event happens 3 times each semester.

My favorite part if the event was private prayer time. Me and God. God and I. It's hard to set aside uninterrupted time to spend with The Lord, even at a Christian school. They set aside time for Chapel everyday minus Friday and the weekend, and I know that is not enough. Seek out God personally and intentionally.

My favorite scripture is, "But from there you will search again for the Lord your God. And if you search for him with all your heart and soul, you will find him."

~ Deuteronomy 4:29

Dinner was amazing.

Though we had hours of no classes, we still had to hit the books.

...maybe not too hard...

We had our first 9:17. They're freshman-only events that are scheduled a few times during the year at 9:17, to get us all  acquainted better. We were playing Nerd Dodgeball. We dressed up and played. People got pretty creative. My friend Josh brought his accordion. It was really funny seeing everyone dressed up; It will be hard to look at them again and be able to take them seriously.

After, Nathaniel and I stayed up doing homework a little longer than I should have because we had an outline due the next day along with 3 other things for English (I was mostly done). Kickstart helped me stay awake to finish.

Went to bed at the wee hours of the morning. Zzzzz
