I was going into Edinburgh to visit Kirty for the day. I was late for the bus into Glasgow, so I had to catch the next one due, which was only 50 minutes before my bus from Buchanan Bus Station. I thought there was no chance I was going to make it. But, after a few desperate prayers on the bus, and a lot “Come on Mr. Bus Driver – you can do it!” I managed to make the 9am bus from Buchanan Bus Station with a couple of minutes to spare. Whether it was God or not making the bus arrive 5 or so minutes early in Glasgow, I don’t know – but, I did say something along the lines of “God, you’re a legend” when I got to my seat.
That evening, Kirsty and myself, along with another friend from S.U. Camp went to Morningside Baptist Church (which is now based in Tollcross due to buying the “Central Hall” from the Methodist congregation last year. Anyway, the building is amazing – absolutely beautiful. The service, despite being nearly 2 hours long, and on a Sunday night was full of young people – there must have been at least 200 or so of us- there was barely anyone over 40 in the room.
The church was about to start a week of 24/7 prayer – and tonight was just the start of it. We were invited up during the service to write something that’s keeping us from God on a sheet of paper – and then put it through a (ridiculously quiet) shredder. I really felt God call me to go up to the front and confess my sin to him – and pray to get rid of it from my life.
I really needed that. I really felt myself go “What’s the point in all this rubbish in my life – it doesn’t change things for the better. I feel empty, rubbish and horrible whenever I sin. Help me God.”
It was a bit of a turning point in my life putting it in the shredder – I’m looking forward to walking on a (less) sinful path now. I know I will never be completely sinless – but I’m sure as hell gonna try!
God Bless,
Morrison
