Our Life Group
November 28, 2007We joined a small group at our church, which refers to them as Life Groups because they are supposed to be about doing life together not just bible study.
Well, tonight, we did life with them.
We shared about my mother, her stay in the hospital, telling my dad she wanted to separate.
We shared that we were going to file for bankruptcy (most likely).
We shared about the myriad of emotions surrounding visits with L and her family.
And each of them took turns sharing about things going on in their lives: new babies on the way, the adoption process one couple is going through to adopt from Ethiopia, jobs, deaths, and so on.
At first, I wasn’t sure about being in a life group. We have friends and family close, did we really need this? Some of them already knew each other before the group formed, would we feel like outsiders? Neither T nor I feel extremely confident about sharing our faith in person (here, sure but face-to-face, not so much!), would we be able to open up in a small group?
But tonight, I realized how important this group is becoming to us and I am extremely thankful for it!
I am so glad that you have found a good church and a wonderful support system like this one!
