This week is one of the busiest but most rewarding of the year. It’s the week leading up to the Central Ohio Cru Fall Retreat. 4 years ago I went to my first Fall Retreat and everything was brought full-circle. It was there when I began to understand the importance of community and fellowship with other believers. I met many of the most influencial people who still continue to play such a huge role in my life, and who I consider to be some of my closest friends today. It was there when I heard the Gospel message in a new, fresh way which FINALLY made sense. It was there when I recognized that it was Jesus I needed, and that He was my only Purpose in life, my only reason for living. I remember that weekend as if it were yesterday, because it was the beginning of my NEW LIFE.
Never would I have imagined what would take place 4 years ago on the Monday before Fall Retreat. I went into the weekend with no idea on what to expect, not really knowing anyone other than a couple upperclassmen. I would have never thought that I would come back to campus completely changed from the inside out, and with friends who would be a part of my life forever! I continue to praise God for all that He has done, is doing and will do in my life.
