Night of Worship

This year the Lord placed a desire on my heart to be the Chaplain of my sorority. I didn't know what all I would do through this position however, I knew I wanted to do a worship night for members of my sorority, a partnering sorority, and those outside of greek life. It was a last minute decision for the day of when it would be held and I was very stressed planning this night. I realized that I was so stressed because I wasn't praying enough about it or listening to the Lords plan for the night. The Lord showed me this by completely changing the plans that I had worked so hard for, I had the whole night almost planned with a different partnering sorority and at the last minute they were unable to do it. After this I sat down and realized that I could not plan this worship night alone and that I needed to listen to what God was trying to tell me. After that everything started to fall into place the date, band, speaker, partner, food, everything.

The day of the worship nigh anxiety started to creep into my mind. I have always struggled with anxiety but the devil used it to his advantage on this day. I was scared to even attend the worship night in fear of having an anxiety attack but I prayed several times that the Lord would give me strength to fight it and trust him and I got through the night by his helping hand. Also the Lord, sent me many friends throughout this process to help carry the weight of my anxiety and remind me of his goodness and I am forever thankful for that.

Dawn Hedgepeth a women who has impacted my own spiritual journey was the speaker for the night. She spoke on her testimony and how the Lord has used struggles and tragedies in her life to show her his reckless love. She spoke about mission trips where she has encountered God's love in ways she never had before through people she was meant to be helping. She also encouraged us to always remember how much the Lord loves us and to strive to give him all the glory he deserves. It was a powerful message that spoke to many. The lord was very present through out this night.

The worship night was very important for my own spiritual journey. This night made me realize what all I could be doing for the Lord. This night helped me discover my desire of sharing the word with God's Children and those who are still lost and looking for satisfaction in places outside of the Lord.

I am excited to see what God has in store for me and continue seeing his plan for my life unfold before my eyes.
