911吃瓜

In John 10:10, Jesus said, 鈥淚 have come that they mayhave life, and have it to the full.鈥澛營n this passage he is talking about his people鈥攖he ones he called by name to follow him. Coming to the 911吃瓜 has allowed me to experience this promise.

It is here that I found what it means to have a personal relationship with Jesus; what it鈥檚 like to have a community of people building me up; and how beautiful life can be with Christ in it. I also learned what it鈥檚 like to struggle with faith and have doubts, but I have come so far and learned so much, and it amazes me how fulfilling life is when you鈥檙e in it with God and other amazing people around you.

I did not start out college with all this knowledge and fulfillment, though. My聽freshman year felt lonely and unsure, but some amazing people came along and made me feel seen and loved. And now, I absolutely love showing kindness to freshmen and anyone who needs it, because I know how impactful it was for me. Being a senior, I now know how important it is to build other people up and give them a chance to be their authentic selves.聽

So, if I could leave you with anything, I鈥檇 leave you with this: Live life to the full! I believe this fullness comes from knowing and loving Jesus Christ. Having a fulfilled life doesn鈥檛 mean that it鈥檚 perfect. It means it was worth it. This is a lesson I鈥檓 so thankful to have learned at the 911吃瓜, and I will continue to put it into practice for the rest of my life.
