I definitely felt like God was speaking through Gil, though. I had to tell him the things that were going on… relational issues was the number one talked thing. I got a clearer understanding of how I should continue to fight myself and my desires.

And from this I realized yet something else… I’m just so thankful that there are people out there wiser than I am. [Points to the sky] Regardless of age, EVERYONE is able to see things differently… and through those different points of view I learn so much about me and about them. While I’m here on campus with the students of UIUC and with the church members of CFC, I need to keep being thankful for all things.

I finally called up Grace Sue, after which I found out that she indeed didn’t get my phone number from the last time I called her… no biggie. I went over to her and Ester’s place after my Dinner with Gil, where I found Dan chilling as well.

This is where it gets interesting. I guess I’m going to be joining a small group. I’m not sure, but it looks like my good ol’ Wednesday might be the day. Inadvertently, I found out basically who all the leaders were for the small groups. I decided this shouldn’t play a role in selecting my small group, and should be giving Mr. Chris Sotelo and email.

I need to stop writing these senseless sentimental posts. I need to start putting up some good content in the area of my expertise.

No, not John Hodgman’s “Areas of Expertise”. That was silly.

So I guess my goal of meeting these people… Derek, Dan, Gil, Grace… have all been met. Everyone else I met today was just bonus. Sweet sweet bonus.
