Spring Break

Hey ThreeSixty Fans

WOW! What a week. Mid-terms are over and Spring Break is HERE!

I will start the break by cooking for my best friend, Asia Brown, who will be leaving soon to join the Air Force. Spring Break plans primarily include hanging with friends and family. One exciting adventure for the week is my first trip to Six Flags. All of the ThreeSixty guys will be going on Friday before we head back to school.

Before I end this blog, I would like to say to my brother - please remember:

Never consider the possibility of failure; as long as you persist and follow Christ you will be successful."

God Bless,

Stephen

Responsibility

Hello ThreeSixty fans

This week has been a crazy week. Responsibilities are sneaking out of hand. What are we going to do with that? On the other hand we had a great week because God allows us to be here with these responsibilities. God is teaching us in the ThreeSixty house with small responsibilities in order to qualify us for the great responsibility of sharing the Gospel around the world. Jerime, who is the quiet man in the house, called an emergency house meeting this week when dinner was not on the table for three days running. I was not surprised by that because I know something is not going well. So, in response to Jerime’s call, Pal sat everyone down and found out the chef of the week had already made up his mind that we were eating leftovers. One problem....no leftovers were in the frig. Everybody is searching for leftovers and something to eat. There was plenty of food, the chef just needed to cook it. Jerime took a leadership role and reminded everyone of the responsibilities that we all have and how as a family we depend upon each other.

Last Sunday during the end of the worship service, I was asked to volunteer in directing the traffic at Brook Hills. This news has spread all over the globe; through email, phone, facebook and twitter. I was standing in middle of the road directing the traffic like a policeman and drivers were stopping to see if they were dreaming. They would roll down their windows to see if this Sudanese was the new police at Brook Hills. Some cars were stopped at least 15 minutes without reason because I did not know the signs to tell them to go or to stop and then go again. I suspect that they will find opportunities other than directed traffic for me to serve in next time.

My mentor came and encouraged me this week and let me drive at Spain Park and for this I am so thankful. Please continue to pray for the ThreeSixty students as we are headed into midterms before spring break.

Blessings
