What I have learned in Chapel This week?
My word..how do I begin! I have learned so much it’s crazy! God has convicted and challenged me with every single message. His take on the story of the Prodigal son was very challenging. Although I don’t fit into the prodigal son category, I, more often then I care to admit, fit into the category of the other brother. God has been teaching me a lot lately about forgivness and being willing to admit my wrongs. He has also showed how much I need to have a teachable, willing spirit. I have had some rough times lately, and I realized this week that they were all my own doing. I had stopped trusting God’s plan, and thought I had a better one. I was so wrong, and this past week God has showed me that. I have also been convicted on my daily walk. It is so easy to go through the motions, and not be real. But God has shown me how much He desires a deep, open relationship and how much He loves me. I have learned the seriousness of my sin-my complaining, gossiping, or the other things that in my own mind I think of as little. God abhors all of them.
I also needed to hear today’s message. I am thankful between some awesome friends and my parents and my God, I have been able to stay on the right path..but it is not easy. I have so much enjoyed listening to Pastor Morris..He opened my eyes and forced me to look at things in a new and different way..and in a very convicting way. I learned so much, and am continuing to learn. I’m so glad we serve a God that gives second chances..and third and fourth and so on.. He is AWESOME!!
