not-so-big Meeting Recap
January 21, 2007 4:30 pm
Saturday night was a ton of fun. I hope you enjoyed our expert panel discussing the transition from five15 to Crossroads. For some of you, this is only a few months away. Some of you are looking at years until you are in college. Either way, I hope this served you to know how to make “the best use of the time.”
Two weeks ago, at our BIG MEETING, we looked at Proverbs 6:6-11 and learned how to not be a sluggard: be like the ant, doing the right things at the right time. Saturday night, Katherine, Ashleigh, Kristen, Daniel, Andrew, and Mike told us what they learned about making the best use of the time during the transition from high school to college.I’m not going to type everything up here (listen to the recording if you missed it), but I do want you to have their advice about moving into the college years:
Katherine: Ask God for help being humble. In every relationship, every conflict, be humble.
Mike: Listen to your parents. They are far wiser than you realize, and they are a gift from God to you to guide you through life.
Ashleigh: Be content in your circumstances, but don’t be content in your spiritual life. Trust God for where you are, and then strive to grow.
Andrew: Remember Ephesians 5:15-16. Make the best use of the time, because it is gone so fast and once it’s gone, it’s gone for good.
Kristen: Enjoy the place that God has put you in. Remember that he is good and wise, and has prepared this just for you.
Dan: Read your Bible. Get to know your Bible. Form habits of getting up early and reading your Bible every day before you hit college.
What did you learn Saturday night?

This was very helpful.
One thing that stood out was when Dan said, In College there are all these things screaming for your attention, but none of it can compare to the surpassing worth of Christ. Nothing can satisfy like He can.
It was really good to contemplate leaving the house for longer periods of time (not that I don’t already), for more important reasons, like school and more work. It was really great to see the importance stressed by almost everyone to pursue your parents. Not that I do enough already, but I know it will be harder. It was also encouraging to see the great love for the gospel evident in all of them.
