As I was pondering today, I was thinking of how amazing of a place I am able to call my temporary home in Salem, OR. The fact that I can go to Corban University, where I am surrounded by amazing Christian people, and worship the One True God while getting a solid education baffles me! God has provided me with so many opportunities that I could never begin to repay. Some of the perks of going to a Christian school is being able to find people to agree with you, and pray with you about hard decisions that you are having to make, like what food you are going to eat in Aarmark. Even though there are so many highs that come with going to a Christian University, there are also some lows. My best friend from home, who is attending Oregon State University, was sharing with me about the opportunity she had to share the gospel with some people in her hall. She shared with me that there is a girl from Sweden who asked her some hard questions about Christianity, and her faith, and it really tested her thinking. Mostly because she had to translate her thoughts into something a foreigner could comprehend. So, one of the lows that comes with coming to a Christian school is not having as many opportunities to minister and share God's light that is shining through you. Confession, I was pretty jealous when my friend was telling me all of the opportunities that she has had to minister to people on her campus. I think that even though I do have somewhat of a limitation, I can still put myself into different situations where I am forced to interact with non-Believers and share God's sovereignty with them. I guess what I am trying to say is that we should not be limited by our circumstances because the instant that we believe that there are those fake walls around our life, that is the same instant that we fall captive to the negative thinking that the devil tries to soil our brains with.
Confessions,
