I really like having friends around me that want to get better at photography, too. It’s nice know that someone who knows what they’re talking about really likes my art, and to see first hand someone dealing with the same struggles I am. It’s great.

I’m involved with the Christian Campus Fellowship at MST in Rolla. Like most Christian organizations, we have small(ish) group Bible studies. I’ve been in quite a few Bible studies, and as important as they are, most of them are the same. Sure the subject matter is usually different, but it usually goes down like this: Hang out and talks a little bit, pray, maybe have some nice musical worship, talk/listen, pray, maybe have even split into smaller groups and pray for each other, hang out some more, go home. This semester was the first time I’ve been presented with a much different idea. Two of my good friends, Tara and Dani, decided to lead a group of kids focusing on being servants. It was aptly named “You Got Served.” So far, It’s been a huge blessing. God’s been using the group to touch people’s lives, and I know that this new way of thinking, simply being a servant, will not die with the group at the end of the semester.

I wonder why this whole serving thing was such a new idea for the rest of us. Every time I hear about a group of people radically serving other people, it sounds so….new. I wish it would become something that happens all the time instead of something that always seems new.
