New Student Retreat September 24, 2007

I spent the weekend on a retreat with ODU’s InterVarsity chapter. We were at Camp Rudolph (I spent many retreats there with CNU so I was pretty familiar with the place) in Yale Virginia. The retreat was the New Student Retreat designed for….wait for it…..new students, haha. It was an awesome weekend. Their was close to 50 students in attendance and a good number of freshman. Their was also a great mix of older students, new Christians, non Christians, and people who have followed Jesus most of their life. The focus of the retreat was our identity, including our brokenness, grace, and God as the good shepherd. There was also a good amount of time for the student’s to spend in quiet by themselves reading through some passages that Shane and myself prepared for them. One of the other big goals of the weekend was to encourage relationships to be deepened and formed and to continue them when they return to campus. The weekend was a great success in our eyes. We could see God working in the hearts of many of the students. We were able to have some great conversations with many of them about what was talked about over the weekend. It will be interesting to see how things unfold these next several weeks. Continue to be praying for us as we proclaim God as supremely valuable above all else.

Sorry that I have not posted anything in a little while. As most of you know Joshua was born almost a month ago now (WOW!!). On some other exciting news….I have enough of my fundraising in for InterVarsity that I can be on campus and start my intern year. I am at about 87% of my budget, so praise God for that and continue to pray that I will be fully funded soon. As you can imagine this past month has been pretty crazy but really good in the same breath. You can once again start checking the blog a little more frequently…I’m going to start posting more often.

My son, Joshua Conklin Greenberg, was born Aug. 27 at 11:03pm. He weighed 7lbs and 1 oz and was 20 inches long. He is such a blessing and we can’t be more excited to have him as part of our family. For those who are wondering who he looks like, he looks very much like me when I was a baby, he even has my ears. Tracy and I are home from the hospital and she is resting and recovering well. Our families have been great to us and have been helping us around the house.
