The Inaugural small group meeting at Ed and Brenda's was last night at 7:00pm. It was also Yom Kippur which I found very significant. The Day of Atonement....At/one/ment... Anyway,
Several in the group had not really met yet. They had seen one another in a gathering but hadn't spoken so we started off with intros and before viewing the video I asked for comments on what we had read thus far in the 40 days book. Immediate feedback from several...... Actually we had to kind of cut it off so we COULD view the video.
During the video and especially when Rick said that God ordained all of us to be in this group together, there was a sense of trust in that statement and even awe at the ways of the Lord.
We had a good discussion time. We didn't get through all of the study guide( we will start meeting at 6:30 next week) Of course I felt on my part it was a little choppy but we are at the beginning stage of really relating as the "Father's Family". The more we come to know one another,the deeper and richer will be our relating together.That will translate into higher and higher levels of worship and a greater anointing on our prayers of agreement.
We have a wonderful group. Each one is very special. Each one brings a unique flavor and each one displayed a willingness to participate.Brenda and I are loving each one.Overall I got the impression that everyone was excited about our first get together and looking forward to next week.
We thank God for every tool He provides us to draw us into a deeper relationship with Himself. One way that we look for His appearing is within our own brothers and sisters who are sitting right next to us.That's pretty wild!!
