So today just randomly as I was on the road, I had a flashback-
Back in the fall, I remember that my uncle was asking me which universities I applied to, and Carleton was one of them. Then he said something along the lines of, "a girl from my church is going there for sure and she really wants to join the fellowship group there" and how friendly she was and stuff. His point was that almost certainly, I'd have someone from Toronto to connect with if I were to attend the fellowship group; that there would be someone that could potentially pull me to that group.
I've had the fear for quite a while that in university, I would stray away from God. I have the fear that I'll leave and never come back. So today, I finally understood the sign that God was giving me. It took me about half a year to realize it, but I think that this is my sign to go to Carleton. It's kind of funny how this is based on a person who I've never seen (heck, I don't even know her name), but the fact that her determination to be at the fellowship is so strong, it kind of motivates me too. And now that I think about it, I have no Christian friends going to Laurier, there's been no mention of Christians at U of Ottawa, but there was an association between Carleton and Laurier.
I don't even know if I'm making sense right now, but my point is that it's those little subtle signs that we should be looking out for. I've been praying for a while to get some guidance about where to go, and it took me this long to realize that I had my sign from the start. Like this one, sometimes the signs aren't even very logical, but there's a feeling that it makes sense. Maybe it's even symbolic. I don't even know how to describe it, but I'm just so much more comforted about this decision now that I found that sign. So keep your eyes and ears open because God works in mysterious ways. It may take half a year to discover it, but He's got your back.
Sorry that this wasn't very articulate,

from all the meetings I have been to, Laurier CCF isn't all that big. At least the chinese ones aren't that big, prb 10-20 people max.
ReplyDeleteIt's ok, sometimes GOd's signs are not logical. Imagine a burning bush talking to you, calling your name. :P It's alright, GOD has his ways.
If you need to know the fellowships in Carleton, give me a shout, I'll find out for you. As far as I know, every university has clubs day. Usually on the first week of school at some popular place. You can check it out there. You will find LOTS of out of town students like yourself looking for a fellowship, or what I call the second home.
good sharing, enjoy carleton (when you get there), say hi to Mr. Harper for us :)
