As Spiritual emphasis week began today I have been hit with a number of things. I first realized that I am starting to feel overwhelmed with my home work status. I know God is telling me I can do it if I set my mind to the important things of school and to trust in Him.
(For the Spiritual part) I then realized that I came here to Bethel to be fed Spiritually. I came here to cling to the promise I have in Jesus Christ. I realized I have been stagnant so far in my faith since coming here.
This morning our speaker shared of the story where a father has two sons. One of the sons asks for his inheritance. The other son stays at home working. He explained that the story isn't of the prodigal son, but the two sons because in the end the son who stayed home and worked hard still was in it for the money. The younger son was the one who went about it in a round about kind of way.
At the end of his teaching the speaker asked us some questions that hit home for me.
~What son am I? ~What is God telling me? and what am I going to do about it?
Then for the evening service he talked about or sin. What am I living for? I wish I could have recorded it. I want to be the woman of God I am supposed to be.
(A real moment) This past year I had a moment of feeling rebellious towards God...upon coming to Bethel I felt this was past and I don't need to deal with it. But let me tell you God listened to my open hurting heart tonight and caused me to step forward and know that I have to face things in my life that I don't want to.
(In conclusion) I know that Spiritual emphasis week will be beneficial to me and a multitude of other people. I wasn't ready for what was to come...but tonight I am praying for an open heart and a willingness to hear what it is God wants me to get from the message.
To God be the glory,
