we are family


tonight, we began a new conversation at the Stirring ... we are family ... amazing ...  

our prayer is that we would see and get God's heart for family ... that God is calling us out of a dark room on Sunday nights into family ...

it's so easy to come to church every week and sit in a chair, but church is more than a chair ... it's a family ... fathers and mothers, brothers and sisters, and sons and daughters ... God has this passion for family ... we were created for family ... 

tonight, I realize how deep and how significant this family conversation may be ... after each service, I spoke with all kinds of people about their families and fathers and divorce and abandonment ... we are so deeply wounded ... and this is why God calls us into a new God family ...

I can't wait to see how God shapes us to be the family He created us to be ...

Was that "picture" taken at Benji and Kassie's? I recongize the table, and that candle holder on the wall looks suspiciously like the one we gave them for their wedding.
