Fun House

So, every year, Ball State Cru (Campus Crusade for Christ) goes to Indy for a huge conference with all of the Cru's from the midwest. One night during this week of amazing growth in the Lord, we go to this house called the fun house. It is exclusive to Ball State and we pretty much just go to this amazing house of this youth leader and beat each other up playing some super fun games. Well, a few girls that I am closest with and I decided to have a girls night at this house and stay the night there.

My roommate and I had decided to write a lesson for the girls that night about confessing our sins to one another. The body of the lesson discussed why it is so important and beneficial to share our sins with one another as sisters in Christ. After discussing this, we all had some alone time with the Lord to confess our sins to Him and reflect on what we had previously discussed. When we came back together about 20 minutes later, we gave all of the girls a chance to share about their reflection time if they felt comfortable. This is when the impossible comes into the story. I have been dealing with one particular sin that I have been so ashamed of since third grade before I even knew it was a bad thing. I had decided during my alone time with the Lord that I would share this sin, but privately with only one other girl, but then my roommate confessed the same sin to all of us as soon as we regathered. Then, as it turns out, every single girl (okay, except for one) has been struggling with this same sin that ALL of us were too ashamed to share. I have never felt closer to these girls before and it seemed absolutely impossible to me that anyone else would have struggled the same ways that I have with this sin, but our stories of it were all the same. We are all equal sinners and all became undeniably closer because of this experience.

Impossible. Period.  I never ever ever thought I would be able to be free from this sin because of my inability to find girls to keep me accountable and to walk beside me. I now have 6. God made the impossible possible AGAIN.

It was kind of fun.
