Spiritual Highs and Reality Check 11/4/09

Last week was amazing. I had the opportunity to go to San Destin Florida for the Navigators National Collegiate conference. I got to here Jerry Bridges, and many other amazing speakers, went to workshops, and just got to fellowship with friends from many campuses. I came back to Maryland refreshed, excited, bolder, and just ready to head back to campus. I was especially excited because the freshmen led last week and had an amazing turnout while we were gone.

Today I went to campus to Co-lead the Men's prayer group with Jeremiah because Eshon had football practice. As I walked into the Freshmen men's dorms, the mood was different. Then I saw women walking in and out accompanied by the freshmen men. It happens to be the week visitation begins, therefore this is the week were we really see what these freshmen are about.

Today 3 Men showed up, Jeremiah, Auburn and Malcolm. Three faithful men I might add. And we had an amazing time digging in the scriptures for about 2 hours, talking about everything, and getting excited, none of us wanted to stop but I knew they had homework to do.

We talked about how to create a grace filled environment in our ever changing men's prayer group, where now it seemed that SHAME was going to be a huge deal that would keep people from coming.

Jeremiah said we need to be authentic men not ashamed of what we believe in
Romans 1:16

Auburn Said we need to Have an active love, spending time with our brothers ans sacrificing for them
Psalms 91:9-16

Malcolm said we need to Be Wise men, applying what the word teaches us, learning how to trust God. Like
Proverbs 7.

IT WAS A BLESSING, Just Wanted to share an update from today!!


Please Pray that the men in Holmes hall will come to an understanding that Gods Grace covers their sin just like it covers mine.
Romans 5:11

And Please Pray for Robert Daniels, he is feeling sick, coughing up Flem, he is going to Doctors tomorrow.
