Summit\Life Update 002

Dear Readers,

A lot has changed for me since my last post a month ago. Interestingly enough, by simply typing out my frustrations, I was able to better see for what I needed to be praying. God has been working in my life accordingly and I am pleased to say that a lot of what was bothering me last month no longer holds relevancy. Today, I reread that post and had to marvel at how quickly He works in my life. Yes, many of the things that I mentioned are still somewhat on my mind. But my outlook on much of it has changed.

A few weeks ago most of the staff here at Summit changed out for new staff. I was once again stuck in the cycle of saying goodbye to friends and learning new names; neither of which I am skilled at. Though, to my joy, God made this transition easier then I initially expected and I found myself content to abide in the knowledge that HE is unchanging.

When I first arrived in Colorado I had some frustration in my position change from Lead Staff to Intern. I had the mentality that my work here was almost a step back from what I had been doing at Hidden Acres in Iowa. After opening my heart to what God could teach me here, I have found that I had a lot more to learn then I thought. Through Summit, I am reminded that humility is always a place in which I could use growth. Also being able to create good connections with many of the speakers has been beneficial on a variety of levels.

Earlier, I wrote about a void I felt in my life. I was lonely and longing for some sort of consistency in my ever-changing world. After reading back through what I had written in my post, I got the impression that my desire was to fill that void with someone besides God. As this is not what I wanted to portray or live, I apologize if you received that impression. I am now even more convinced that Christ is all satisfying and can fill any gap I may encounter. That being said, if I ever do decide the time is right to pursue a girl, it won’t be because I need to fill a void in my life. HE is my everything!

Thank you for your prayers and comments on my last post. The power of prayer never ceases to amaze me.

As a quick update, I am very excited to see all that Christ has been doing in my life and in the lives of new friends around me. Summit is going very well and I am thoroughly enjoying serving here. Nonetheless, my exhaustion reminds me that it will be nice returning home the second of next month. Please be praying that my endurance will hold out and that the hearts and minds of students would be open to what they can learn here. Know that I am still praying for a lot of you back home and look forward to catching up with you all upon my return.

To God Be The Glory,

Andy Krueger
