I always describe my experience in CCF as a love-hate relationship. Throughout my 4 years in CCF, there were moments that I really wanted to leave. To seek out a fellowship that I fit better in (and yes...even after being on committee, I still say so). To leave is not because I don't like CCF, nor that do I not care about the growth of the fellowship. It was more because I cared, I didn't want the experience of staying make me eventually dislike the structural. Yet at the same time, a lot of people who knows me well encouraged me to stay, not to wait for changes, but to be the change. After this year, I still don't know if I have allowed God to do work through me, or to be a tool that God can use to inspire people. Maybe yes? Maybe no? I don't know...
It didn't quite hit me that I'm supposed to move on, and I think it's going to take me another while to get used to the fact that I'm going to be graduating and leaving soon. I'm terrified inside. Truly am I have to say. This transition state is the hardest. I grew as a Christian in TCBC and in CCF. I can't concretely tell you what I have learned these past few years, the only thing I know is that people who know me keep on telling me that I've changed a lot as a person. I don't really know if it's true, maybe?
Something really hit me during musical worship, don't think people would realize in any way, but I was tearing up in the back, because the affirmation that God will be with me struck me.
The greatest love that anyone could ever knowI will live to love You, I will live to bring You praise, I will live a child in awe of You. Once again, I was drawn back to where I needed to be. It doesn't quite matter where I'll be next year (though it does matter in reality :P), but that no matter where I'll be, I should glorify you.
That overcame the cross and grave to find my soul
And 'til I see You face to face and grace amazing takes me home
I'll trust in You
With all I am I'll live to see Your kingdom come
And in my heart I pray You'd let Your will be done
And 'til I see You face to face and grace amazing takes me home
I'll trust in You
I will live to love You
I will live to bring You praise
I will live a child in awe of You
You are the voice that calls the universe to be
You are the whisper in my heart that speaks to me
And 'til I see You face to face and grace amazing takes me home
I'll trust in you
You alone are God of all
You alone are worthy Lord
And with all I am my soul will bless Your name
It's time to move on, time to find a Church or to stay, but definitely time to find a new community. My steps are shaking, but I'll trust in You!
