Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson

New Year, New Mindset
Yesterday's prayer-themed chapel was a great way to start off this year with a godly mindset. My group didn't spend as much time praying as we did discussing how we plan to glorify God throughout the upcoming year. My group, led by Allie Owen, went around to each individual and talked about how we like to spend our time. We talked about how we can use all of our hobbies to glorify God and show others that Christ is deeply involved in our lives. Many of us read some Scripture, which reminds us of God's presence in our daily lives. I loved that we could apply the lesson to each individual, rather than saying something vague that doesn't necessarily apply to everyone. I know that God brought each person into that group so that we could be uplifted by each other. At the end of the lesson Paul Teller led us in prayer and he prayed that we could all be united to working for God, the Creator, and that he could create a new zeal for each other, our school, and Christ. I think God has already created something new at DCA based on the experience that many had yesterday, and I hope he continues to bless us with physical and spiritual restoration.

I really like how you said your group mentioned the things you all could do to glorify God! My group did not do that, so that is very interesting. Also, I agree! It was a great way to start the year off!
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you had a great group! I'm glad to hear that Paul Teller was so involved with your group.
