Prayer Couch

No. No clever titles this time. No catchy "hook" to make you read more. It's just straight up what it sounds like. A Prayer Couch.

This week, volunteers from our Navs group, me included, sat on couches in the plaza outside the student center and prayed for people. Sometimes it was for individuals that approached us, other times it was just for CSU as a whole. We prayed for peace and blessing on the CSU community. We prayed for a program going on tonight, "Homosexuality and Spirituality". We just prayed for people. It was awesome!

It really pulled my outside my normal comfort zone into the world where I'm leaning heavily on God's peace. I saw some of my sorority sisters while I was there, so now they identify me with prayer. Hopefully, they'll approach me about it and I can minister to them. I saw a guy that hangs out in our hall a lot and he talked to me about it in class afterwards. We talked about how he used to lead worship at his church back home and now that he's at college he hasn't found a church to go to yet. I had no idea! I invited him to go with me this Sunday. God used me today in other people's lives and he used today in my life. I feel like this is the most I've ever grown spiritually in one day.

Praise the LORD!!! I am NOT the same person I was a year ago, at the beginning of the semester, or even a month ago, and I'm so happy about that.

What are some areas that bring you out of you Christian bubble? What kinds of things bring you away from your comfort zone?

Intro

Hi! My name is Abigail Grosenbach, but most people just call me Abby. I'm a feshman Journalism major at Colorado State University, and that's kinda what this is all about. I'll be relaying to you my major experiences (or not so major) and what I learned from them. Actually, it'll end up being like a journal, more than anything. I'll write it, you can take it of leave it.

This is mostly so that my friends and family can keep up with me and how I'm doing without me having to send out a mass e-mail. If you just happen to come here without knowing who I am or what I'm doing, I invite you to stay and learn about me. It could be informative, insightful, and entertaining all at once.

In either case, here it is. College: Year 1
