Written by Briley Hancock, Senior<\/em><\/p>\n

Spiritual Emphasis Week came at the perfect time for me this year. So far this school year, my faith has been tested, questioned, and stretched. I\u2019ve doubted, I\u2019ve dug, and I\u2019ve struggled for answers. I\u2019ve been spiritually tired and in need of a reminder of what the big picture is. I\u2019m so thankful for this past week! God has been at work in my heart every\u00a0day, and allowed me to see multiple nuggets of truth in each message.<\/p>\n

\"WorshipI\u2019ve especially been convicted of my selfish desire to control my own life. I\u2019m really good at making plans for my future without giving a thought about what God would want. Being my senior year, I\u2019ve had lots of opportunities to make big decisions. One of the last lessons Mr. Roberts delivered reminded me that God has purchased me with His blood, and therefore I need to give the steering wheel of my heart completely over to Him. That means trusting my future to God- even when things don\u2019t go the way I envision or plan. I have been reminded that sometimes we get something better than answers- we get God!<\/p>\n

Mr. Roberts also reminded me of the very simple, but mind blowing truths of salvation. God is good and God is big! God is so big that He can make the guilty become innocent, the dead\u00a0become alive, and adopt His enemies as His sons and daughters! I\u2019ve been so encouraged and uplifted with the reminder that God pursues me and desires me. Why would I ever reject a God like that? There is nothing better than God! God should be my life. I should be so filled with Jesus that when people look at me, they don\u2019t see me, but they see my Great God! I\u2019m thankful for the reminder God brought to me this week that despite my most desperate, hopeless condition, I have a Savior that loved me enough to die for me, save me, erase my sins, and adopt me as His own daughter!\"Bob<\/p>\n

God has used this week and Mr. Roberts to relight the fire in my heart and soul for Christ. I\u2019ve been reminded that my mission is to bring glory to God- to point to Him. Nothing else matters. I\u2019ve been broken, convicted, refreshed, renewed, and I\u2019m excited to start a new semester with such amazing truth on my mind!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
