Living in the shelter of each other

I may have mentioned about my care group that I attend on Thursday nights.  It is a unique group of people.  Micah & I started going together but now it is down to me. Each individual brings such a different perspective on things but still the light of the Holy Spirit shines within them.  When we first started meeting we discussed the topic of idols.  We have been working on a study called  How People Change. It has been an interesting study, we are not done with it yet.  It's getting tough since it is dealing with the heart, changing the heart, which will then change the old self, the old habits, the old behaviors into a new heart.

It depends on how much you put into this study you will get out of it.  How far have some of us shared and become transparent in order to allow others to come along side of us to help, encourage and uplift? Also there are times that others can see our sin when we can't.  Yes, the only who can change a person is God the Father.  It is He who we should lean on and crave, seek and obey for this new heart.  It is through a community, a group of people with the same like mindedness that can share in the process that each of pursue with our loving Father.

Ever since I re-married and moved to Flagstaff AZ almost 2 years ago I have had many opportunities to be open and transparent. In one on one friendships, church, ladies bible study, mops, care group.  I have found comfort in knowing that God the Father places the right people (person or situation or blessing) in the midst of a trial to bring a part in it all that leads to further growth and change within me.

I am so thankful for all the many people that have come along side me, we have shared in prayer, hope and love.  Thank you.
