Move In

Tomorrow is the day the freshmen move in and the excitement begins anew as another year at Taylor University kicks off. I couldn't be more excited. I remember what it was like sitting in my bedroom, waiting for this day to come over what seemed to be a freaking long summer, and then having it finally arrive and being everything I desired, plus some. I can't wait for the freshmen this year to experience that as well.

For those of you who read this, here are some things to really be praying for this year and as the freshmen move in:

- That everyone, not simply the freshmen, would feel welcomed and accepted and loved by the other dudes on the floor
- That this year wouldn't just be "another year", but a year in which we can challenge each other and grow together in Christ
- That it wouldn't be me or Brad that appears the most, but God

There are obviously tons of other things that I could ask for prayer for, but I really would appreciate things just as general as this as the time passes while we live life together here in the dorms. I almost can't contain the joy that I have in taking part in this experience. God has seriously blessed me so much just by putting a man like me in this position. While I am so inadequate, God is beyond capable of accomplishing His work this year. Pray especially that God will just be the center of all we do. I pray that this selection of "The Breastplate of St. Patrick" will mark our floor this year as we go:

Christ with me, Christ before me, Christ behind me, Christ in me,
Christ beneath me, Christ above me, Christ on my right,
Christ on my life, Christ in breadth, Christ in length,
Christ in height, Christ in the heart of every man who thinks of me,
Christ in the mouth of every man who speaks of me,
Christ in every eye that sees me, Christ in every ear that hears me.

My name is Andrew Lehr, and I want to die tired.
