Today at Chapel service, I was especially glad to have Pastor Frederic D. Haynes as the guest speaker. It was exciting to have the speaker be from my hometown of Dallas, Texas. It made me feel like I was back at home for a brief moment while I was worshiping and immersing myself in the word of God with my peers. Boy, did Pastor Haynes give a good sermon! It was such an inspiring message with multiple points made. He talked about having mountain sized dreams and not letting people or excuses stand in your way. One thing Pastor Haynes said that stuck out to me in his sermon this morning was to “use your ‘hateration’ as transportation to your destination”. This basically means whatever is meant for evil in your life, you should turn it around and use it for good. He also talked about forgiveness. The minute you stop allowing your enemies to treat you as if you are their victim is when you have truly forgiven them. Therefore, your accomplishments are not in spite of obstacles, but rather because you overcame that obstacle.
I left Crampton auditorium feeling like I could take on anything in life and it also helped my focus on my goals for this school year.
