Community

from the journal fridays, India · May 8, 2020

Community is an important aspect in our lives. Here’s a glimpse into what that looked like for me in India, straight from my journal:

undated, early fall 2016
house fellowship notes

Words of encouragement for me:
“Your softness is not weakness.”
“You’re a gentle leader, tender, soft hearing, to hear & respond to him.”
“You’ve been faithful, and, there’s a grace for more faithfulness.”
“You’re a good friend.”

thank you for community
you never called us to be alone
you never ask us to go alone
to do anything on our own
keep us from ourselves, God, from building our walls, from not letting others in–
keep us from letting ourselves be alone,
resigning ourselves to something you never asked of us.
