Everything I once held dear, I count it all as lost.

Well tonight I got to go to the last night of Word First. I'm not sure if words can describe the change that has come over me in the past month and half...perhaps even in the past couple of months. My heart is so full I'm not really sure where to begin. I guess I should begin with the fact that I'm laying my life down for the sake of Christ. I will now and forever be the instrument that God uses to complete the necessary tasks He desires to be done here on earth. I was kinda reluctant to say this before but then I tonight during the service my eyes just rested on Hebrews 13:5 &6 "Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For He himself has said, "I will never leave you nor forsake you." So we may BOLDLY say: " The Lord is my helper; I will not fear. What can man do to me?" Man, I'm just loved into silence by that. It was funny because as I walked into that building on campus it just hit me: the church I attend is dedicating a week of their lives to God on MY campus....in the VERY SAME building, the VERY SAME room where Chapel is held every Wednesday night. It really did hit me...like a ton of bricks. Then toward the end of the service I just knew I had to say something about it to Pastor Wimberely and if he was willing to the congregation. So I told them. I claimed in Jesus' name that they were setting the tone for the rest of the year (and every year afterward that they continue to use the Caillioux) for Chapel. I write this as a way of holding myself accountable in what I feel that God has called me to be on campus- His light to a dark world. The healing salt in the wound. The burning brightening light in the darkened room. I am confident that so long as I pour out my life for God, He will fill me continously with everything I need. You know- we serve an awesome God and the sooner we all realize this, the sooner this world will be changed for the benefit of God's kingdom. :)
