First I can't believe August is around the corner...Crazy! I am getting really excited about the thought of school starting again at ODU and students being back. This summer I have been attending Freshman Previews on campus to meet incoming freshman students. It has been a great time to meet some of the students who are going to be at ODU this fall.
So today I show up at a Preview and notice that this preview was going to have about a quarter of the students from the previous 12 previews this summer. When I found that out, I was very tempted to just leave with my brown box of flyers and give-a-way items. I thought "am I just wasting my time today?, This will most likely be pointless". I was looking at the things on the surface and making judgments about if it was worth wild.
I decided to stay (to be honest, mainly because another campus minister saw me carrying my brown box and he started talking to me. How could I leave after I had been spotted?)
The Preview tuned out to be the best one yet that I have attended. I had more meaningful conversations with students and parents then ever before. If any of the students I met today ever read this, thanks for making this Preview Great! I was reminded never to "write God off". When things seem ordinary or bad in human eyes, I need to be looking for God at the most unexpected times and not write Him off.
