Plants
I have been kind of flying around like a maniac lately. Partly because about a month ago, God impressed upon my heart that I needed to explore the option of joining a new church plant. It came from total left field, and I don't even know if it's all me or if God is a-moving. So, I use the term "exploring." It's kind of a "been there, done that" kind of thing--i was largely involved with a Plant a couple years ago.
We're meeting. We're serving. We're "recruiting." We're emailing. And in it all, I am coming face to face with a lot of my insecurities--socially and spiritually. It hasn't been easy and I find myself wanting to get the heck out of Dodge. Yet another group of Christians to whom I have to reveal the embroidered, emblazoned D upon my chest. A new group of women I have to find my place among. Another spiritual leader I find myself trying to impress. There's a lot going on.
And yet, I haven't gotten a NO! or any major red flags yet. I believe the Lord is leading me through a time of growth (who am I kidding?! These times of growth never end but keep linking together!!) and is using this to show me more and more about myself and about Him. so, I am holding on. For now. (Not that I am leery or anything...)
So, in preparation for our first preview service Sunday, I am fasting from something...Facebook. I have found it to be ridiculously addictive and totally unnecessary at the same time so I thought that seemed like the best thing to clear out of my life for a couple days. We shall see!!
So, that's what I have been up to lately--just in case you wanted to know!

Re: Plants
Yeah I definitely wanted to know.
Sounds like a lot is going on, I'm glad you're stepping out in faith with a new group of people...it can be so scary!

Re: Plants
that sounds really cool. I am kind of wishing I had a church where I felt like I fit in lately. Glad that God is moving you to new places!
