Sometimes I will make some the night before and set it in the fridge so that I can have some cold brew for the morning. This not only saves me a lot of time in the morning when I wake up but saves me the danger of waking up my roommate grinding the beans or firing up the electric kettle.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559731&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:480}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"1200\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3477\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Lucas-Morning-Coffee-Photo-scaled.jpg?resize=900%2C1200&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Morning cup of coffee.\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Lucas-Morning-Coffee-Photo-scaled.jpg?w=1920&amp;ssl=1 1920w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Lucas-Morning-Coffee-Photo-scaled.jpg?resize=250%2C333&amp;ssl=1 250w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Lucas-Morning-Coffee-Photo-scaled.jpg?resize=700%2C933&amp;ssl=1 700w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Lucas-Morning-Coffee-Photo-scaled.jpg?resize=768%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Lucas-Morning-Coffee-Photo-scaled.jpg?resize=1152%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 1152w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Lucas-Morning-Coffee-Photo-scaled.jpg?resize=1536%2C2048&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Lucas-Morning-Coffee-Photo-scaled.jpg?resize=120%2C160&amp;ssl=1 120w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Lucas-Morning-Coffee-Photo-scaled.jpg?w=1800&amp;ssl=1 1800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">Devotions<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559731&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:480}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">After the coffee is made\/obtained, it is time for the most essential aspect that should be a part of every believer\u2019s day. You guessed it! Time spent with Yahweh our King and LORD.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559731&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:480}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">I usually begin by writing out my conversation with Him in my prayer journal as I sip my coffee and listen to light instrumental, jazz, or nature sounds through my earbuds. (There isn\u2019t much of a spiritual reason behind this other than it is relaxing and helps me stay focused\/intentional in prayer.) Prayer journaling has been a great blessing that helps me see how God answers prayer, especially as I flip back through my past prayers later in the week or month and see visibly what He has done. Then I spend time studying Scripture.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559731&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:480}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">Headed Out for the Day<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559731&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:480}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">After devotions, I pick a snazzy outfit \u2014 sweaters, waffle tees, New Balance 574s, and Birkenstocks are a heavy rotation for me \u2014 and head to Chuck\u2019s (the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cedarville.edu\/offices\/dining-hall\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">dining hall<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"none\">) for breakfast. Sometimes I do my devos at Chuck\u2019s during golden hour or shortly after the sun has risen. This is when Chuck\u2019s is most beautiful and peaceful, and I would recommend experiencing this for yourself.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559731&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:480}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Also, the question of gym time comes up next. This is tricky. While I prefer going to the gym in the morning as it is less busy, I prefer night showers, so it is very important for me to consult my Google calendar and personal to-do list. I solidify my attack plan for homework, meetings, discipleship group, and\/or see if I have scheduled a meal\/coffee break with a friend that day!<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559731&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:480}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">These \u201cone-on-one\u201d meetings are very popular at Cedarville and are great for meeting new people or catching up with friends after a busy week.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559731&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:480}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">Chapel<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559731&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:480}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">This year, I have no morning classes (this is nice), so after all of the above, it is usually time for chapel, so I head to the Dixon Ministry Center\/Jeremiah Chapel. I sit with my girlfriend and her friends on Mondays and Wednesdays and with some other close friends on the other days! It\u2019s great!<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559731&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:480}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">You will probably hear this a million times when you interact with Cedarville students, and I am no exception, but chapel here is phenomenal. I love worshiping with the student body and hearing from some of the world\u2019s greatest speakers, like Trevin Wax and Sam Alberry. Cedarville\u2019s faculty often speak in chapel too, and they are exceptional! They deeply care about their students and speak crucial truth into our lives. They show us this in the way they present themselves and teach us.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559685&quot;:0,&quot;335559731&quot;:720,&quot;335559737&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:480}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"506\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3511\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Lucas-Chapel-Photo-Sam-Allberry.jpg?resize=900%2C506&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Sam Allberry preaching in chapel.\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Lucas-Chapel-Photo-Sam-Allberry.jpg?w=1600&amp;ssl=1 1600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Lucas-Chapel-Photo-Sam-Allberry.jpg?resize=250%2C141&amp;ssl=1 250w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Lucas-Chapel-Photo-Sam-Allberry.jpg?resize=700%2C394&amp;ssl=1 700w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Lucas-Chapel-Photo-Sam-Allberry.jpg?resize=768%2C432&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Lucas-Chapel-Photo-Sam-Allberry.jpg?resize=1536%2C864&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Lucas-Chapel-Photo-Sam-Allberry.jpg?resize=120%2C68&amp;ssl=1 120w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">For a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cedarville.edu\/Chapel\/Watch\/How-to-Encourage-Your-Friends--Part-1\/hVWqb6s2H06DHyH9KiYoaA\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">recent chapel message<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"none\">, we listened to Pastor Mike Fabarez of Compass Bible Church speak on the necessity of godly friendships and companions. Pastor Mike reminded us of the sad reality that too many friendships end simply because of conflict and a lack of resolve to restore the friendship. Instead, he reminded us that friendships are too valuable to let go of so easily, and we need to adopt the mindsets from Proverbs 19:11, Matthew 7:3-5, and Thessalonians 5 so that we may be gracious, overlook offenses, and remind each other who we are in Christ.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559731&quot;:720,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:480}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">Class Time!<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559731&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:480}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">After chapel, I then head to my medical imaging class!

As we are called to make disciples of one another, these groups serve as a way of shaping us more into the image of Christ and helping us practice the lifestyle all believers must adopt of making and shaping disciples (Prov. 27:17, Col. 1:28).<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559685&quot;:0,&quot;335559731&quot;:720,&quot;335559737&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:480}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">My group is currently going through Colossians and discussing the centrality of Christ in our lives and the preeminence of His person.

This is an awesome place that greatly emphasizes and celebrates this and reminds us of our purpose and worldview as believers!
