Fungus…

This just in: I am not a fungus. I know, right? Allow me to explain.
 
These past two months have been a whirlwind of emotions. It is amazingly easy to avoid life when you are going through a difficult time. I have been quite successful in this endeavor. But, with the help of an amazing friend, I have come to the realization that I am not a fungus and I do not grow hidden under a log…. rather, I grow when I allow myself to lay exposed… naked, if you will, before a lovely God. I grow when I allow myself to interact with others. I grow when I engage in my community… my family.
 
I can not express how much I desire for others to have this level of community. That is my desire for CEC and more specifically for LifeGroups. LGs should be a group of people that are true family. We as believers, need to be walking with one another through this life. We need to be patient with one another when we are going through difficult times. We need to love one another when we are unlovable. And we need to be that gentle reminder to one another that life must go on… and it won’t if we are being a fungus under a log.
 
I praise God for CityEdge. I’m thankful to be a part of a community that truly desires to love God and love His people.
