This year I had the amazing opportunity to attend Word of Life Bible Institute. I have learned so much about leading with humility. This started while I waited to learn if I had earned an RA position. Instead of RA, I was offered a position in leadership on the student council. The team I served with was always encouraging and became like a family to me. We planned campus days and class events. We also had weekly meetings where we would talk and pray for one another and our class. Since I was also on the worship band this year, I was given the special privilege to be both seen and unseen. Through this, I discovered that working in a more unseen role can be a humbling and rewarding experience. One verse that has encouraged me throughout this year and continues to be a life verse is I Timothy 4:12 “ Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, and in purity.” This year God really grew me in so many ways. I think the biggest way He has grown me is in understanding that my relationship with Him is more important than my relationship with others. God did create us to have fellowship with other people but ultimately we were created to have fellowship with Him. I’ve found that if my relationship with Christ is my most important relationship, then every other relationship kind of just falls into place. God has been so good this year bringing me some amazing friends and through those friendships we are able to push each other towards Christ.
