When I first started college at North Central, I was a commuter and was only there for class and then I would leave, go to work and do other things. I honestly had two friends from college and I always sat by myself during chapel. It was there that the Lord started challenging me in ways that I had never been challenged. Pushing me to care more about what He thinks than what others think of me.
One day during chapel they had a time that we could come up and find a place to be by ourselves to focus in and listen to the Lord. I don't remember exactly what I was going through at that time but I know that I was hurting. I was crying out to God. After a while I felt a hand on my shoulder and a young woman spoke over me and said "God wants to use you to bring joy to others." I never found out who she was but I knew that it was truth.
It has stuck with me to this day and I have prayed since I was 12 "God use me for Your glory."
I got this card from a friend a few weeks ago, she told me to pick any card. (They were facing down so I couldn't see what it said.) I pulled out this card and once again got the confirmation that God wants to use me.
I hope that somehow this encourages you to seek God in the times where we don't understand what He is up to and to trust Him. He will use you in mighty ways if you let Him.
