What is it about C3 that makes it so special? There are many things I could write about but it all comes down to one key item….the PEOPLE! Although I attended C3 for many years, it wasn’t until I connected to the people that I understood the true heart of the church, and most importantly, the true heart of God.
I remember my first experience of connection was at Women’s Conference 4 years ago. Hard to believe that only 4 years ago my heart was changed. I remember walking in the door to Women’s Conference scared and searching. Searching for what I didn’t know, but what I found was more than I could have even hoped for. I found a group of ladies that had stories written just like mine. I remember writing down my dreams for the first time. I didn’t see how writing something down could help make your deepest desires come true. Boy was I wrong! It wasn’t until the next year at conference that I looked at my dream sheet from the previous year. To my amazement every one of my dreams had come true. It was at that moment I believed in dreaming again.
As time went on I really started connecting to the various people in the church. I was surrounded by the Women (and men) of God that saw something special in me. I remember the Couple’s Journey and thinking how was I ever going to climb that HUGE tower. I remember hearing the voices of everyone at the bottom cheering me on. I remember feeling the tug of the rope and hearing Jim Crumbly at the bottom telling me I was almost there. I remember the low ropes course and having to trust in others to catch me when I fell. I have never been so scared in my life. I remember hearing the voices of my new FAMILY telling me …..let go….trust them…… they would catch me. It was during that Journey that I was given the nickname Diamond. I struggled with that name for the longest time. What was it about me that was a diamond? What did they see that I didn’t? However, as I grew in God I started to see God’s plan in others. At that point I understood that sometimes it is easier to see God’s plan in others lives than it is our own. I became that person smiling at someone else because God was showing me how amazing THEY were.
Sometimes when I feel like I am not sure which direction to go, or that my life just isn’t making sense, all I have to do is look to my left and to my right and there is someone there to show me the way. Someone that sees God’s plan for me even if I don’t. I truly believe that God uses people to send his messages about our life….our purpose. I believe that if you listen you will hear God’s plan for you in the AMAZING people at C3.
