An Update
It has been a while since I have wrote on here. Since then I have gone to New York to do tourist stuff and see my brother off to college. While there we explored Manhattan via subway and shoe.
I left New York earlier than the rest of my family to attend a Cal Journey retreat to prepare for welcome week and this upcomming semester.
On saturday I went home for a day and did some final hanging out in Palo Alto. I arrived back in Berkeley on Sunday via Anthony's car and BART.
Wow, and now welcome week. I feel that God is really teaching me how to rely on him when I'm tired. I guess it is kind of like Nehemiah. "They were all trying to frighten us, thinking, 'Their hands willg et too weak for the work, and it will not be completed." But I prayed, "Now strengthen my hands.'" Nehemiah 6:9.
I think it is pretty awesome how Nehemiah comes to God with prayer in his time of need but but at the same time, it isn't in an eloquent prayer. It is simple, short and too the point. I feel that Nehemiah is so in tuned with what God's will and what will bring God glory that he doesn't have to plead or beg. He just has to ask God for what God already wants to do.
Anyway, I guess this update doesn't include a cool adventure. Not too exciting eh?
Thanks for reading.

That actually sounds like a pretty cool adventure to me. First you go to 2 famous cities and explore them via subwaytrip (stupid pun off roadtrip) and get to visit your brother, then you get to get high on spirit with Welcome Week and all those nice little freshmen. Anyway, you make a good point about how prayer doesn't have to be so eloquent, but rather should be more true and for youself and God. I think the real adventure is what God taught you.
