I’ve being so blessed to be involved with Navs this year. I have gained so much more than I have given out to this group.
In the spring term, I wasn’t able to be involved in Navs so much due to writing my dissertation and work commitments. Even though, I couldn’t be involved as much, I was really encouraged that friends at Navs would text or email me to see how things were going. It really felt like navs was a family supporting and caring for one another.
After coming back to Navs in March, I realised the importance of fellowship and also that my relationship with God had suffered during time I was away from navs. God had being gently speaking to be about the importance of discipleship and meeting up on a one to one basis with someone. I kept putting it off as felt it was a threat, and I would have to be more open, honest and accountable about relationship with God. But God kept didn’t give up! He kept on reminding me of the importance discipleship and through others.
I was at point where I needed to meet up with someone one to one and to be more vulnerable and open about my relationship with God. It wasn’t an easy step to take, but one that I needed to take.
Since meeting up with a friend one to one, I have really valued the time to be open and honest about how things have been going in my life. It has being great to share deeply with one another, and has being a great two way friendship. It has being encouraging to study the bible and pray together. I would really encourage meeting up with someone or a friend one-to one, as I have really grown and matured in my faith by doing this.
