There are some times when you have tiny little epiphanies that seem to explain lots of the other things that are happening around you. For me, it was the recent realisation that our young adults is probably one of the first times I’ve felt really comfortable in a group of christians. Where I’ve really felt accepted – probably outside our youth team. Which is a pretty cool (and simultaneously pretty sad) thing.
And there’s a feeling in me (and maybe that’s all it is) that God is really starting to get some stuff up and happening. That we’ve got a group that is focused not only on building each other up, and strengthening each other; but also in putting energy into the outside world – to being missional (although not neccessarily using that word) – to getting out there and “doin’ the stuff” (nothing like a good Wimberism). It’s exciting, and it makes me really re-assess where I’m at, and forces me to want to really keep pushing forward.
I like it. It makes me wear my happy face.
