Classes started back up today, though campus seemed very empty. I assume many students won’t be returning to their classes, or at least not studying much. We usually meet with students at a place called Deets, which is a coffee shop where students study and have meetings and stuff like that. So it was pretty empty in there today. I’m not sure how it went for everyone so far. I didn’t get many calls, so I guess that’s a sign that they’re at least okay. One way the Lord has really blessed us recently in preparation for next year is that we have been assigned 6 interns who are seniors currently here! 2 of those were already planning to be here, but the other 4 had other plans, some with CCC, some not, but who feel strongly that they want to be back in Blacksburg for the fall to continue to help our campus pull through this dark time. We are overjoyed for this, especially since we are losing 2 staff families at the end of this year who are moving elsewhere to serve with CCC. This news has been a huge light at the end of our tunnel, knowing we will have Hokies to help us through this next year, and just more people to pour into the movement. I am heavy hearted, and realize that I will probably be like that for a while, but I really am full of hope and thankfulness for the goodness of God and the grace He has poured out on us this past week. That helps so much in dealing with the pain.
