So anyone who knows me I think knew that I wasn't going to rush because it wasn't for me. But honestly I think God called me to these girls and to Delta Gamma specifically. Tonight we had our new member retreat and we did something called Fire Side Chat and the question was "what is a defining moment in your life" and imagine probably 45 girls sitting in a giant circle on the ground. You can imagine that there were tons of tears and all i can say is that every single one of them was just so broken and going through so much pain. It reminded me of how broken our world is and that in this broken world God can make us feel whole again. I got to share a part of my testimony tonight and I've told my testimony a number of times and once in front of a crowd of high school students and have had the strength and boldness to not cry. And tonight everything around me had just gotten to me and I cried about how broken I was and I was just reminded of that tonight and even at church this morning I was reminded.
But when it came down to it, I put it out there for everyone to hear, my identity is in Christ; and I said that my defining moment was my junior year of high school when I accepted Christ. I couldn't even spit it out and I have no idea why, but I hope that God will use that moment and touch those girls lives even if it's in the smallest of ways.
I've been questioning, why UNT, and why certain things have been put on my heart, and tonight gave me a glimpse of why God called me to UNT. I seriously can't wait to become apart of this sisterhood and be apart of my sister's lives in a new way. This is a new chance for me to forget about my past and move on, no strings attached. I'm made new every morning I wake up, every day is a new day planned out by God himself.
Please be praying for each and every one of the girls in my new member class, there was alot of honesty tonight and just alot of brokenness and just so much potential in these girls. So just be praying that I can serve them and love them now that I've said my brokenness and now I can focus on theirs by loving and serving them!
