Howdy and welcome to the Breakaway Podcast. Thanks for listening. Breakaway is a Bible study recorded on the campus of Texas A&M University.

Today's message is from Breakaway's Executive Director, Timothy Atik.

We hope you enjoy the message. And Well, when I was a senior in high school at Highland Park High School in Dallas,

I decided to take a college visit to Texas A&M University, a really smart decision to take a college

visit here.

But I made a deal with my parents that I was just going to fly solo and that they could stay home.

And so they gave me permission to drive to College Station

by myself because I was going to spend the night

with a friend.

And so I got in my car and I began to make my way down I 35 and I got to Waco and in Waco I got on to

Highway 6 and I began to make my way to College Station and I found myself surprised that about an hour into my time on Highway 6,

I hadn't seen signs yet for Brian or College Station.

Now what you need to know is I was driving to College Station prior to

smartphones and I know that just dated me I get that I'm fine with that I'm I'm old

unapologetically okay no no smartphones no Google Maps at this time it was more like dad how do I get there and he's like you're gonna go on this road and then you're gonna take a ride and go for a lot longer and I was like okay I'll give

it a world that's how directions worked before the smartphone and so I'm I'm on highway

six and I've been on highway six for about an hour and I find myself surprised that I haven't seen signs yet for Brian or College Station.

But my senior in high school self just told myself

let's just give it a little bit more time because I'm sure this is the right direction,

this is six, it's just going to happen.

Like a time is going to come, college station is going to appear,

and then I will arrive.
