Rough Night: Cry-Fest Twenty-Eleven

Among our Rough Night activities were, for us seasoned members, Cardboard Testimonies.

I was the second to take the spotlight, and after watching only a few girls after me, I knew I was not going to make it.

These beautiful girls, my sisters in Iota Chi and Christ, were admitting to things that broke my heart.

“Negative body image./Fearfully and wonderfully made.”

“A newborn died in my arms./God is found in everything.”

“Cancer ate away my father’s soul./There’s a peace I’ve come to know.”

It was intense and emotional, but something that I think bonded us in a beautiful way. Because we all have Christ, we were able to share with each other the deepest despairs of our hearts.

And then we broke into small groups and prayed.

Probably one of the most intimate moments of my life.

I am so thankful to God for breaking my heart last night, and for my new sisters!
