Challenges from the Lord

Last night was a really incredible night. I went out with Sarah and Braden last night. We went to this college ministry bond fire for Church of the Good Shepherd (CGS). It started off a little awkward, but I had a really good time. All of the people that I met there were so on fire for God. I haven't met many people with such a passion here at IU, especially within one congregation. Sarah and I got in a conversation with a couple of the guys we met there (I guess I met, Sarah knew them), and we ended up talking for almost two hours. Their hearts were incredible! It has serious been years since I have met people who had such burning passions for God and for His Word. That's when I realized something pretty big last night. I really feel like the reason I have felt so luke warm lately, is because I am just not being challenged enough. I came home last night feeling like all I wanted to do was pray and read the Bible, and this morning I feel rejuvenated for the Lord. I miss that kind of fellowship... I really do. I need that kind of fellowship. We all do. I know that church gets a bad rep. sometimes, but their hearts are really wonderful. They may seem pretty harsh sometimes, and they can be, but their hearts really are for the Lord. They are more like the, "Repent, the kingdom is at hand," kind of people. It's refreshing though. I'm very thankful for this night : )
