Use Me Lord Jesus

The ways God has been moving in the past week have been incredible.

Last Friday night, I attended an event at Brook Hills called Multiply. The night focused on making disciples of all people, and at the end of the night Francis Chan challenged us to write down the names of a few people who we felt led to either:
1. Make disciples out of
2. Make disciple-makers out of

I wrote down 3 names:

1. My hallmate
2. my Big
3. a upperclassman Fellow (a Fellow is someone in the honors college) who isn’t a follower of Christ

After we wrote down the names, we prayed over these people.

This past week, God has shown up in big ways with all three of these people.

1. For the past two or three weeks, my hallmate has said that she wants to come to church with my Big and I, but she never has. On Monday, we were

talking, and she said that she was Methodist, but she hadn’t found a Methodist Church to go to or had people to go with, and as a result, she hasn’t been going to church at all. I told her I’d go with her to a Methodist Church… so on Sunday, we’re going to the Methodist Church together.

2. I know God is doing something big in my Big’s life. I don’t know what He’s doing, but I can sense it in a strange sort of way.

3. I’ve only seen the upperclassman Fellow a few times this past semester, and I only know her because we met at my Interview Day for Fellows. This past week, I have seen her nearly every single day and sometimes, multiple times per day. God is slowly placing me into her life so that I can later share Christ with her.

Pray, and God will answer.

Matthew 21:22 And whatever you ask in prayer,
you will receive, if you have faith.”

It’s This The Real Thing?

…or is this just fantasy?

Yesterday, I had the incredible opportunity to visit the Church at Brook Hills. I arrived early enough so that I got to sit in the front-center. To put it lightly, it was an amazing experience. People actually talked to me, and some even knew that I was new to Brook Hills. But they didn’t just talk to me, they got to know me. They knew my name, where I went to college, and why I was specifically at Brook Hills.

And while all of this seems so simple, it was just… wow-ing. 

I must have been dreaming… or have been in heaven.

I think the latter of the two…?

Afterwards, I got to meet Dr. David Platt, author of the book Radical. I’d watched him online via podcast for many years, and now, here he was, preaching no more than twenty or thirty feet away from me AND I got to meet him briefly!

Perhaps this is the reason God brought me to Jesus-Freaky College…?

That’s my exciting little world! Another story to come about flaming cars later on…
