| CC recap |
our very solid small group
I'm still trying to take things in and really reflect on what happened this past weekend. At the very least, I leave this conference very blessed with a feeling that I am a part of something special and exciting for the days to come. I have a renewed hope that God's working on something big in our campuses. And it all starts with repentance. For me this meant coming to the cross and laying down my sins of selfishness and hypocrisy: trying to negotiate between living for Me and God. So all there's left to do now is to surrender my life, my ambitions, my dreams for His sake. Now the act of attempting to surrender my life to Him isn't necessarily new to me, but it's been a while, and for some reason, it's not accompanied by the feeling of loss and sacrifice of something I'm trying to hold on to as I've felt in the past. In its place is an understanding and hope that what He has planned is infinitely greater than my own plans.
And to a large extent, that's what this weekend was all about: Students and workers coming to that realization that they must continue to die to their selves and with selfish ambitions out of the way, seeking out his direction and calling, praying for unity among the body of Christ.
I'm blown away by the sense of community that was fostered during the weekend. I'm blown away by the connection that was created in our small group, that we were able to share so freely with one another our struggles, our burdens, our joys as if we had all grown up together when for most of us, friday was the first time we met. I'm excited in what God has in store for our smallgroup and pray that we can continue to meet and pray for one another (i love you guys).
I'm excited for what God has in store in Queens (this summer and next year). I feel like a kid again
I think i'm going to leave it at that for now. Oh to be alive |
