Anthony Kemp: AS Senator?

Hey guys,

So, I have a pretty funny story for you.

Last night at about 11 EST, I randomly found a post about a an opening in AS for The Block Senator (where I am living this year with Matt Barrios). I was pretty intrigued by this and began to question...... Is this something God wants me to do this year?

Long story short:

1. Prayed, prayed, prayed.
2. Sought input from my parents and Jess. Prayed.
4. Called the VP, Justin de Vesta. Prayed.
3. Filled out an application between the hours of 12am and 1:30 am. Prayed.
4. Had a phone interview with Justin and Mark Heath around 2am.
5. Prayed all day long and thought more about it.
6. Got offered the position, whereupon I told Justin that I wanted more time to consider and make sure this was God's intent.
7. PRAYED PRAYED PRAYED.
8. Accepted the position.

That's right, ladies and gentlemen.... I am now a Senator in AS. Weird. But apparently that's where God wants me and I feel totally at peace about it.

And let me tell you something else, all of this miscommunication/distance between AS and ResLife is going to stop. It's time to bridge the gap, so to speak. We are ONE body. I believe this vision is part of the reason God has brought me into this position. Doesn't that sound neat?

Anyway, wanted you all to be among the first to know. Why? Because I love you (especially Steph).

Your truly,
Anthony
