3. Room to Grow

One thing that I really like about Mississippi College is the feeling that God is everywhere in this place. On an average day in my life before I started coming to Mississippi College, I could sometimes go through an entire day and never see God in the world around me. Here, on the other hand, is a completely different story. No matter where I go on this campus or the area around it the presence of God can be easily noticed.
Don't get me wrong, my love of God was strong before coming here. I knew Him in my heart and accepted Him as the most important part of my life, but many times I felt like my surroundings kept me from expressing my love for Him in the ways that I knew I should. In the short time that I have spent here I have come to understand that I will not be judged here for what I believe.
This has been the biggest aid to me to help me grow in the Lord. I do not really need someone to teach me about God, I figure that out with the help of the Holy Spirit, I just needed a place where I had room to grow. Mississippi College holds true to its mission statement in that it is helping to grow spiritually, but at the same time it is not pressuring me to believe anything that I don't think is true.
