The Value of Authentic Community
I have been trying to write this blog post about community for months. I have sat down to write multiple drafts, every time starting over because the words weren’t exactly right to convey what I have been learning and seeing when it comes to the importance of community.
Share / A Puzzle
I often think of God as a great puzzle maker, and we all have different pieces, and we can only see the ones right in front of us. Other people come into our lives and they have different pieces, or similar pieces and we aren’t sure how it all is supposed to fit together.
Live / Purpose over Panic
Times of crisis are training for real life. In the business of the normal we are so easily lost in our day to day. The minutes turn to months, I see it every year as I watch my girls celebrate another birthday wondering where the time went. In crisis, normal is forced to cease and our comforts and routines are made to alter or stop. It is in this place we have to step back and take inventory of our lives.
Live / Satisfied
What can we learn when everything is stripped away? What is left for us as Followers of Jesus to do? Maybe the things that are left are the things we should be focussed on always.
