PHP! get someeee.


Wow. The meeting has been over for 3 hours and it has taken me this long to even be able to try and put this feeling into words.


6:00- students start trickling into the Student Center Cafe and wearily ask if this is where PHP is meeting. Great!! People are showing up 15 mintues early.
6:10- I turn around to see a line out the door to sign in to the meeting.
6:15- Students are still coming in large groups to sign up to be apart of what was only a vision a year ago.
6:20- Nathan, Josh and myself stand up on the stage to introduce ourselves and look out to see all of the Cafe chairs filled and students standing as well as sitting on the floor- just flooding the meeting space.


Needless to say- we were blown away and far beyond excited. There are no words to describe the feeling. I can only imagine the way it must have felt for Nathan and Josh who were there when PHP was born a year ago. From a handful of students, to a small but dedicated group last semester, to a group of about 100 ECSU students all coming together to do meaningful service, to truly make a difference in this world.

This is such a blessing and I pray that God would bless this organization, the leadership and most of all-- the members.
