Community

God created us for community and for togetherness, but not really for our sake. He does care for us, and he certainly bestows blessings on us which in turn will "make us happy". However, the purpose of community is to GLORIFY HIM! Can I just say though, that true, genuine, loving community makes me so happy! :)

I can honestly say that the majority of the time I look forward to going to work. I love the people I work with! It is such a fun environment and they have hired some stellar people. I am so blessed that some of my best friends are also my co-workers.

There is one community that I am still searching for, my church family. I always knew, leaving Tuscaloosa, that leaving North River Church would be harder than leaving my family. That may sound harsh to some, but I know that my family is always there for me, they can come visit me, we can still talk and interact and be involved. But with my church family at NRC, I can't continue that community when we are 9 hours away (Podcasts can only do so much). So, I really miss NRC. I have had a family up here in Church at Arkansas since before I moved when I connected with the Beasley's. I seriously love their family, and they have been so good to me, finding me a job, praying for me when times are hard, helping me get involved at C@AR. For some reason, I just do not know that C@AR is the best fit for me. Its so hard with the ex that goes there. I feel like I am dodging bullets when I go to church there, cause I just have no desire to ever see him or run into him, especially not at church. Things like that just consume my thoughts when I go to church there, which makes it really hard for worship. So, this leaves me at a place where I can really pray that God will lead me to the right place, or if it is C@AR, that He will give me a peace about it.

More to come later....
