WHERE TWO OR MORE ARE GATHERED …
Last year I grew immensely in my relationship with the
holy trinity of God, but my growth will never end because He is infinite. This
year we have experienced several breakthroughs, two of which I would like to
share with you. Each week during chapels, classes, prayer and worship sessions,
or weekend services, we all have the opportunity to learn more about God and
experience Him in new ways.
When Jarod spoke for staff chapel, he delivered a
powerfully freeing message on finding freedom from insecurities. I have gone
through a freedom session before to rid myself of my metaphorical chains and
burdens, but dark feelings hid deep beneath my skin. For a long time, I denied
any insecurity even though I know that I can never be perfect until I get to
heaven. However, the Holy Ghost pushed me to go forward and write “INADEQUACY”
on the mirror that later shattered under Jarod’s hammer. My whole life I never
felt good enough to do anything for anyone, despite what the Word says about
me. Now the truth of God has pierced my heart. Letting go has been a big theme
for me lately since I have so much I can let go of, but this message will
remain in my heart to the end of days. During this chapel, I also took
advantage of an awesome opportunity to better the relationship I have with my
mom. We had a great talk and now we’re closer than ever.
Later during communications class, Pastor Gregg felt led
by God to have students go up on the stage and give public apologies. Because I
have a habit of almost over-apologizing on-the-spot every time I feel like I’ve
wronged someone, I don’t think I had anything I needed to say. However, many
students went forward to share things that happened even years ago with people
they haven’t seen in practically forever. The incredible vulnerability and
realness of each person in Twenty-Four Seven was humbling for everyone
involved. I’ll never forget the new perspective I gained on the truth that
every person has a real story.
Amazing things happen when people are sensitive and
obedient to the promptings of the Holy Spirit, especially when we worship Him.
