i went to my first large group church service tonight since moving here and it was so very refreshing. the ministry was called fuel and by large group, i mean there were nearly 300 college students at this one service.
the pastor spoke about letting god break through our boxes of who we think he is and being open to how awesomely big he really is. he taught on stories featuring jesus and naaman and elisha... and us. our stories. of going in peace to wherever we are called and being the divine dirt that we are.
we all are of infinite value, each and every one of us. and we've got the holiest spirit living inside of us.
i don't exactly know what to think or make of starting school tomorrow. what will university life be like? what will this semester be like? what will these next few years be like? well, i don't know... but i do know that i am excited to see what the lord has planned.
somehow my education here and the time i am going to spend here is all a part of the "plan". and i am embracing that plan because i completely trust the one who made it.
i recently read that all great distances start with taking a single step. so that's what i'm going to do. and i'm also going to pray.
a prayer something like this: to boldly yet humbly step out in faith and obedience, trusting the one who's leading me.
