Today, we had our third small group. It went really, really well. We had 7 people including me and Kayla. And we talked about God over chips and salsa and a fruit plate and it was just great. So many times, Christians just beg and beg inside for this fellowship and family of our brothers and sisters that is perfect and everybody has this awesome relationship and closeness with God. That's not real. We are in the world to bring others to God and at the same time build things from the ground up. That's what our community is. It's building up something eternal and forever that can last into the time when we are all together in the Father's house and life is perfect with him. And that is awesome to be apart of. To actually grow with others into how we image Jesus. Not just to come together as already perfected, but to help perfect each other in the Holy Spirit.
We prayed that Jesus would give us a small group, a community of people we could share God together with and share ourselves with in him in his family. And within three weeks, our group went from us, to 4 people, to 7 people. And next week, 9-10 people :) Thank you Jesus, our Beloved.
As the season turns to autumn, then winter, I just can't get away from feeling, from desiring more than anything and reminded every second by the cold winds outside, that one day we will be snug with our Father and our Beloved Jesus and his Holy Spirit on the couch by the warm fire in the living room in his house as the snow comes down outside. And until then, we will all be together with his Spirit as the seasons turn from the hot summer to the cool fall. We have a wonderful life with our beloved Jesus :) And I'm so excited to fall in love with him with others now. To watch our brothers and sisters grow up in God with us, that's going to be something that will be eternal. Just like how Paul and the apostles felt when they were apart of their churches and their families.
