“I always thought the moment that I accepted Christ would be utterly life changing. That all my questions would be answered and I would stop having doubts” began a recent student post to the Washington University InterVarsity facebook page. The student, nicknamed “Mountain,” recently attended the Ohana conference- one of four conferences held together in Kansas City at the end of January. He continued:
To be honest though, when I finally stood up and accepted Christ I didn’t feel different. I still had questions and I still had my doubts. But what had changed was that I finally realized one thing: I believe that everything happens for a reason. Me coming to Wash U was for a reason, my childhood friend convincing me to come to ACF was for a reason, Me meeting all my wonderful brothers and sisters in this community was for a reason. On 1/28 I decided that I could no longer accept that these events were just products of chance. On 1/28 it became clear to me that it was the will of a higher power, of God, that has brought me to where I am today.
On January 28th, Mountain joined over 100 other students from around the region in committing or recommitting to follow Jesus. He and his InterVarsity community at Wash U have been reminded that even though questions may remain, Jesus can be trusted to lead you exactly where you belong.
