Community

I can across a blog that Karyn Baker wrote about Community and it got me thinking. What is community? What does it look like? What is the definition of community? God has been putting this on my mind ever since I read Karyn's blog. This blog was very interetsing to me. Are we a community? I have been praying about this community stuff and what God wants to say about it. Well this is what God has told me about community. Community has many definitions. Community can look like different things but what God is trying to tell me I think is that community is about fellowship. Getting to know the people in your church. Spending time praying for others. Being in the word and encouraging others to be in the word to. Community is being a family that loves each other. Community is about showing God to others. As you can see community has many definitions to it. God is trying to show me what it look likes to be in community. This is a good topic to look into and ask God what it looks like. If you look at
Genesis 48:4 it says.
and He said to me, Behold, I will make you fruitful and numerous
and I will make you a company of peoples, and will give this land
to your descendants after you for an everlasting possession.
God wants to make us all a community. All the belivere together and that is so great. I want to be in community with God. Can you image having 100 percent of God in your life. What would that be like. Having God be everything you do. Your life would be so much happier and God would be everything you do.

I want God to be in every part of my life because I need him so much. To be my strength when I am weak. To be the words that come out of my mouth. To be my breath of ife. God wants to everything to us. He wants to be in community with us. What a beauitful picture that would be.

Well God is great. He has showen me so much that I never thought I would see.

Blessing to you all

Gods Lesson For Me

Will this week was a long week for me. I got really sick and had to stay home for 4 days it was not fun at all. In the time of being sick I was asking God why do I feel so sick, why haven't you healed me? Why do I have to miss out on serving you and doing what I love to do? Why God why? This is what I was asking God the whole time I was sick. I was in so much pain that I couldn't breath and it hurt. So I had to spend 4 days at home in bed not that fun. Anyways as I was sick at home this week God was talking to me about slowing down and resting. I told God that I can't because I have to much to day. God said I want you to slow down and spend time with me. So this week being sick was all about God showing me that I need to slow down and not over do myself. I was so upset that I had to miss alot of stuff this week I love to do, but that was God way of telling me to slow down. He wants me to take care of myself and to not over do what I can't handle. I am starting to feel better and that is because I take time off of things this weekend to get better. God has his ways of working through us. He shows us many things, sometimes you just need to listen to what he has to say. God knows what is right for us.He created us so he should know what we can handle. God will never give us more then we can handle.
