Coming back to Québec last week was a bit tough on me. I did not want to go back to the homework, the routine and the grandparents. I was fine hanging out with good friends all day long at Bethany. So I was a little discouraged. But God has been good to me and I rejoice everyday. Basically it’s simple: I have joy and I am encouraged because I have little doors opening in front of me, opportunities to “spread the thought of God” to people who don’t know him. It is not that I explain the Good News to people every time, but it’s simply that I can explain to people what a bible college is and why some people attend them, why I go to church. I talk to people about many little things that are related to the Bible, God and Jesus, as I talk about the word “faith” or a certain verse written on my binder, or about what Jesus is to me with people around me at university or in the streets. To me, it’s little seeds I’m sowing in people’s hearts. They might now hear the Gospel right away, but God can use little conversations like that to make people think about Him and maybe push them to seek Him. There is a time for everything. Anyways, these days, that is what brings me great joy, the privilege to be different, to have a sure hope and be able to share bits of it with people that are hopeless.  Sometimes I struggle in my thoughts and I wonder if university is really the place where I am allowed to continue to live and do things as I usually do them as a believer. Should I write about God-related things for essays when it’s appropriate, should I answer “God’s will” to the question “Why do you want to become an ESL teacher” when I strongly know it is the main reason? All kinds of little things like that. And I sometimes wonder, should I put God-stuff aside when I’m in class because you know, I’m studying, this is university, it’s serious. I feel like a big nerd for seeking to “display” my faith every single time I can. But I think I forget that wherever I am, all that people see is this world, this earth, this life and what’s left of it. They only see the opportunities they have right now and they seek their own good and comfort for their life (especially in university where people are there because they plan on doing something, getting jobs with their degrees). But the thing is that, there is something way more important than this life on earth and people don’t know it. One day we shall all face the Lord of Glory, with or without the blood of His Son Jesus covering our sins. So even though it feels I’m out of place for talking about Jesus, and the faith even in schoolwork… it is not. Because I keep in mind that there is more to this life and if I can spread the thought of God, it’s good, especially when it helps people thinking more about their reality: they are going to hell.  Anyways, I rejoice I can be a child of God in this unreal world and try to bring more reality in a few people’s lives.
