Howdy and welcome to the Breakaway podcast. Thanks for listening.

Breakway is a Bible study recorded on the campus of Texas A&M University. Today's message is from Breakway's executive director, Timothy Atique. We hope you enjoy the message.

Well, so I graduated in 2003, which means that I graduated about 18 years ago from Texas A&M University.

And even though I've been gone or graduated so long ago, the interesting thing is that I can still tap into certain feelings that I had during my time here at A&M. Now, I'm in

an eagram 4, which means I feel more than the majority of you guys feel. But the crazy thing is that

even though I graduated a long time ago, the feelings are the same. Like feelings that I can still

tap into from 18 years ago are feelings

that I would imagine that you experience as well.

Like I can still tap into the feeling of the first day of school.

Like I love the first day of school, not as a freshman because it's terrifying and there's tons of fear.

But after that,

it's actually kind of exciting because you still have a 4.0 in all of your classes on the

first day of school and you're not wearing pajamas to class yet, like you're still trying

in life. And that's just like a good feeling. And I can still tap into the feeling of walking around campus on the first day of school

and just seeing people that I haven't seen in three and a half months and it feels good to

just see fresh faces and if you're single on the first day of school, then there's that

added feeling of like seeing people you haven't seen

in three and a half months. And it's, and some people like pleasantly surprise you. It's like,

have you always looked like that? Because there's something different kind of firing off inside of me at the side of you.

So that's kind of neat.

I can tap into that feeling.

I can also tap into the feeling of walking out of my last final.
