This morning started out pretty good. I was able to meet with Allie and go to breakfast with her. It was a good thing I did too, because I didn't eat anything else the rest of today. Following breakfast was the First convocation of the year. Dr. Falwell ended up speaking to all of us. It was actually a pretty good message this time too. After convocation was over we had a really cool leadership meeting. The student leaders all gathered in the Vines center and one of the campus pastors spoke to us on the power of prayer. He then had us pray for about an hour over every single seat in the vines center for people that would be sitting there this year. Whether it is for a chapel service, sporting event, or Concert I prayed for them to hear from God while they sit there and aknowledge his will for thier life. It was really amazing to see about a 1000 people dispursed through the building praying and talking to God. God's presence was so very evident there this morning. I know I personally felt close to God, I haven't prayed for longer then 30 minutes in one sitting in a good while. It was a great time. I ended up praying up until I had to go to work so I wasn't able to get any lunch today. But I did make it to work and had a bunch of stuff to work on there. I ended up leaving to a service call around 3:30 and I never went back to work. This service call ended up taking until 7:30 tonight and I also missed dinner becaus of it. I had to do a lot of work with the corporate office for the Hotel I was working at so I was on the phone almost the whole time. I started out with my cell phone battery almost full and ended up working with them on conference call until my cell phone battery went dead. I then had to call back from another phone. By the time we had a temporary fix up for the weekend that phones battery was just about dead too. I ended up being on the phone for over 4 hours today doing that. It was a pretty tedius phone conversation. All that and I was back in the server room of the Hotel for 4 hours also and it was like 100 degrees back there. I was ready to be done after the first few hours. Turns out I was meeting Allie and Jonathan after I got off work today too and I had no way to get ahold of them for awhile because my phones battery was dead and I was already using the Hotels land line. But it worked out just in time and I was able to finish up perfect time to meet Allie right when i needed to be there. But it was worrying me that they would be waiting for me and I would have no way of telling them where I was or when I would show up. But yay! It all worked out. We ended up meeting for some coffee with Jonathan and his friend Becky. We ended up hanging out for roughly an hour or so. It was pretty good. Jon and Bec left after that and Allie and I headed to go see a movie. We saw "Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants" it was actually a pretty good movie but it was a pretty unique story. Anyway we both liked it. We then just returned to campus for the night. I've had an extremely long day and I need to get to sleep. So good night!
