It seems like a long time ago since I had time to sit and blog....or is it that I finally "made" some time to blog??? You are right....you have to make time for the things that are important to you! There never seems to be enought time to do the things you should be doing.....I am good at making excuses and somehow in all the "busyness" I still do the things I really "want" to do!!! Didn't one of Jesus's disciples mention something about this "war" we are in?....!
I have been thinking about the new Ladies Small Groups we are doing at LCC and how they would look. As we are reading Mark I am reminded of Jesus' "small group" of 12. Jesus was really himself with them. Even in chp 14 verse 36 he criend out to His Leader (His Father) asking him if there was any other way to get this job done...."let this cup pass from me......neverthe less, your will be don, not mine." He let his real feelings be seen. And yet he was honest with his disciples too, letting Peter know ahead of time that Jesus knew he would denie his relationship with Jesus and yet Jesus loved Peter anyway.
We follow our leader and yet we lead, love and are transparent with our followers. When we have a relationship with people we have to "let them in" and you take the risk of being hurt....both from the one you follow and the one you lead. Just do as Jesus did. We have to remember "it's not all about us". We are in this because we want "His Will" accomplished. And that is to make disciples of ALL men!!!
If you want to grow as a Christian and find realtionships that are "real" join one of these groups. They are listed on the front of this blog on the right hand side. Call the church office for the phone number of one of the leaders. We are on a mission.....to make disciples who follow Jesus and spread His Kingdom in Lincoln!!!And around the world!!!
