This fall, we had planned a large event for freshmen fraternity men, called The Men’s Panel. However, as we finished setting up and all five of our guest speakers had arrived, I started to wonder where the freshmen were. Student leaders appeared; still no freshmen. After waiting 20 minutes, I almost broke down. We gathered all the speakers, guests, and student leaders and prayed. We prayed for ministry among the fraternity men, for the student leaders, and for God to show us how to move forward. While the event may have appeared to be a failure, that prayer time produced amazing fruit. Our freshmen men’s leader, Trey, was rejuvenated. In his words, “It was good that God didn’t bring anybody, because I needed to be humbled and reminded to pray.” Another thing God did that night was to bring new faces to our group. One of our student leaders, Becca, a sophomore Kappa Delta, brought her roommate to the event. Her roommate has since come to every event. Last Monday, at our gathering meeting, she slipped me a note, asking to talk about how to have a relationship with Jesus. The Men’s Panel might not have brought any freshmen, but it did bring this amazing Kappa Delta, who is now exploring a relationship with Jesus. During the evening, God taught me about my expectations. In His wisdom, he showed me that his plans, while they might be different from my expectations, are always perfect.
