The mini room prayers
The community outreaches
The individual prayers
The sharing of the Word of God and
The gathering together worshipping,
Were the best moments of my time as a student.
No exaggeration, it was better than all my lecture attendance, because at least the quality of time I spent with y’all built me and positively poured into my life and still is.
Unlike the hours I spent studying things I can't even remember anymore, there are times I remember the scriptures we shared and the culture we lived, which I am still conforming to.
Unlike the hours I spent writing assignments and studying for exams, what I learnt from our gatherings was a great foundation for my faith, its were the foundation of my prayer time and daily devotion, (things that I were not accustomed to before), was laid.
The sister and brotherhood is still there, unlike the exam papers I wrote. At least I can still see y’all at events, at least I have names to call out when I pray.
I realised that the Hand of God is upon me, maybe I would have got a job after matric, maybe I would have gone overseas, maybe got married, or got swallowed by the untolds of wherever I would have been, but because God’s guiding and protective Hand is upon me and that He works in amazing ways, meeting y'all had to happen. Maybe if i had not met y'all, I would still be just a person without a friend, alone in my bubble world of feeling sorry for myself, with a shabby prayer life and a godless lifestyle. But because God works in amazing ways, and that His Hand is really upon me, I had to meet you. God poured in you before so that you pour in me and I am grateful.
Stay blessed.
