Week 8

So, the Lord is faithful.
Don't believe me? Listen to this.
On Monday, we have Impact Team meetings. Impact Team consists of a girl's bible study and a boy's bible study, and as a team we go onto the same campus in the city and share the Gospel.
Recently, we have been told that going into buildings and distributing items to students is considered soliciting and is not permitted on our campus. This development, for me, was a hard one to take. I was so angry with God. Why would He take this away? Why would He want us to struggle? Why? Why God why are you doing this? Well, here's why. I wasn't pursuing God. I know that sounds absurd, but its true. I wanted to start a bible study for me, for my glory; I wanted an english club because it would look good and that selfish, me first attitude isn't pleasing to God, so He stopped me in my tracks and took away my control. As stated many times before, I love control, I lack trust in God and God has been slowing breaking me of that. This recent event, was a hard pill for me to swallow because God took away my control and was forcing me to trust Him.
So due to this recent change in our ability to share on our campus, morale on our team had been low because we have to share outside and in 100 degree weather, and that is not fun. So morale was low, spirits were weak and things were looking bleak.
In an effort to try and lift spirits, we decided to make a list of intentions for the week; things we as a group or as individuals wanted to be held accountable for on campus that week. Things like getting into 4 Gospel conversations, or having conversations at work, etc. So we made a list of about 20 things, trusting the Lord and depending on His faithfulness.
Well, our God is faithful.
By Monday, God gave us a staff member on campus who is a Christian and wants to help us, God gave us a breakthrough in doing outreach by leading us to the person in charge of outreach for our organization, God had given Rachel 6 conversations with students and 6 opportunities to share the Gospel, God had given Tyler opportunities to share the Gospel, God was faithful!
By the end of the week, about 7 things on our list had been done.
I was wondering why God took away our ability to share on campus, I was questioning God and His goodness and He showed me His faithfulness, He showed me His goodness and He showed me that when He is in control and when I trust Him, things happen. Nuts. That is nuts. The God of the universe, chose to be faithful to me and to our Impact Team and to show me what happend when I trust Him.
I was questioning and God answered my questions.
God is so good and faithful.
