I've just read my introduction to my blog that I started nearly a year ago and it made me smile! So many of the things I was after have occurred during this last year, it's amazing.
After New WIne in the summer I was determined that there should be more activities for my age group and I believed God was telling me to do something about it instead of moaning! Since praying about it, I found one of my best friends had been struggling with the same issue and had felt God telling him the same thing! We have both been praying about it and since then we've had several socials, sorted out prayer triplets and are starting a cell group in a couple of weeks. God is amazing!
I know that this is just the beginning now as we're sorting out only a part of the whole picture. Our group should be out there and not just about socials (though these are fantastic!).
Our church's vision is "Up, In and Out" - meaning up towards God (worship), in towards ourselves including growth, learning and relationships and out towards others in the community. We're getting towards the 'in' part just now need to work on the others!
What this has shown me above all else is the need for prayer - far too often I try to rely on myself instead of God as I worry that God won't use me otherwise! God is working in our little group and I'm really looking forward to the next chapter.
