“Our God is greater, our God is stronger
God You are higher than any other
Our God is Healer, awesome in power
Our God, Our God…"
-Our God, by Chris Tomlin.
I attend a university that requires chapel three times a week. At first I thought I would hate the fact that I was forced to go to this and would be penalized if I decided to sleep in or have too much homework to attend. Three weeks in, God finally reached my selfish thoughts. He did this through a song we sing during chapel nearly every week. I realized chapel is only what you make it. Do I focus on the other things i could be doing during that one hour of my day? Or do I let myself go and let God take over. Chapel is a blessing, not a curse. By worshiping, God fuels my soul. He is my constant encourager when i feel the world around me is crumbling. He's there. He is always waiting for the moment when his child comes home to him. Lord, I run to you through the rain, through the hurricanes, and through the blessings. I will stand for you.
"And if Our God is for us, then who could ever stop us
And if our God is with us, then what can stand against?
And if Our God is for us, then who could ever stop us
And if our God is with us, then what can stand against?
What can stand against?"
With a blessed heart,

I remember I used to hate chapel sometimes. Freshman year we sat in the very last row of the balcony - terrible choice. I didn't put anything into it so I didnt get much out of it. The last few years I began to love it. I am glad God is moving in you through in chapel!
