It's been a great year and a half. In the midst of my busiest schedule to date, I've been continually blessed by God. With recent events such as World Mandate and our church lifegroup retreat, I'm motivated to create a short thankful list.
Why I love the people of Antioch Community Church- to them, the Bible is not just a cookbook. Follow this; do this; whoa, don't do that...and you'll be ok. The Bible to them is one crucial way to furthering their relationship with God. It tells of the God they are seeking and thus is precious. This is just one reason of many, but short blogs are read more than long ones.
Why I love the people in my lifegroup- First, see above, as the lifegroup is part of the ACC body, say, the nanobody. Second, the retreat ran itself. All that the four leaders had to do was set a location and time. We also set up some activities, but without them, it still would have been a time where people initiated purposeful conversations with each other, worshiped, encouraged, repented, interceded. It was great. Again, there are many other reasons.
Why I love God- He is good. While this is something an 18 month old could mumble out, it is true and there is nothing more important. What person doesn't want something good? The last year and a half has been so great because God has transitioned me from trying to memorize the Bible's guide to baking the perfect, to using the Bible to seek and experience Him and His goodness. I'm still miles off but it is still sweet.
