It's a great week for Revival!

I'm happy to say that I've had a laid back week. It's not often that a college student can say that they are not too busy, but I feel like this week has been one of those weeks that comes along right when you need it to. It started last Friday with a visit from my sister. I transfered to Olivet a little over a year ago and this is my FIRST visit from her. I was beyond excited to have her here. On Friday night, we went to Broadway Review. Broadway review is a show that is put on by Olivet Students that highlights a variety of songs from a variety of popular Broadway musicals. On Saturday, we sort of did a tour of a bunch of different sports. We started the day with a two baseball games, then made our way over to McHie for a volleyball match, and finally ended up at the soccer fields to watch a girls soccer game. Lucky for me, my sister is almost as big of a sports nut as I am! She left later on Saturday afternoon to head home, but we had a good 24 hours!
To continue my fabulous week, Revival started on Sunday morning. I love revival...especially because it comes at this point in the semester. It's close enough to the start that you are still adjusting to being back at school, but far enough in to the semester that you can feel the fatigue that comes along with being a college student. Revival this year was especially great because our own University President, Dr. Bowling, was the speaker. Dr. Bowling is one of those speakers who makes an hour long service feel like it was 10 minutes long. You come out feeling very spiritually fed, but not like you were just in church for half of a day. That skill is SO helpful for revival because it makes being in church for 4 nights in a row not seem like a task. I honestly looked forward to hearing what he was going to say each night and seeing how God was going to work through the service. I guess you can say that Revival puts you on a spiritual high, but I know (at least in my life) that God did things this week that will be lasting.

How great of a week is that?!
