2 weeks left & Catching up with a best friend

I have a little under 2 weeks left here in San Diego and running Student Venture ministry.  I can't believe it is almost over.  This week will look the same, Big Monday tonight where all the kids gather and then we will be having small groups tomorrow, dodgeball and bible study with the boys.  Also, this week will be the last week of me meeting up and mentoring with the guys 1 on 1.  The director of Student Venture, Shawn Faulkner, has asked me to write up and article of what the summer contains for followers and supports of 'SV' so keep your eyes out for that, I will most likely post it on here.  

This past weekend I was able to visit a very close friend of mine up at UCLA.  He is living in the frat he is in and is involved in CRU.  It was such a blessing getting to hang with him, and also to see his ministry in the frat and the relationships he has built with the guys and just the witnessing his life is to so many.  I got in late afternoon Saturday and we hung out and played basketball like old times then grabbed some Chipotle in Santa Monica on 3rd Street Promenade, which was awesome I have never been, so many street performers, and also got to see a lot of his friends as well as some people that I went on Summer Project with in New Jersey, which was great. 

 Yesterday we were able to just continue to catch up on our lives and dig into one another's over coffee and then got to run the courts some more playing ball.  There is just something about competition that just gets my blood pumping, especially basketball.  But anyways, we played and ended up driving with some friends to Reality LA which is a church in West Hollywood, and man I was blown away.  The worship, the message, I was so challenged.  The pastor went through Ruth 2 and how Boaz is an example of Christ allowing us to sit at his table, even though we are so undeserving as well as serving us.  The pastor said it like this..... "The CEO of the UNIVERSE has allowed us to sit at HIS table and serve us." I felt so blessed to see Tyler and just catch up, I consider him a close friend in the Lord and cannot wait to worship the King for eternity with Him.
