How Soon We Forget- New Faith Community Announcement!!

Recently my family and I took a hiking trip to the top of a high mountain called Chimney Rock. The trail said strenuous but we ignored that part and off we went. Now I should start by saying that we are no where near "in shape" nor do we hike often at all. But we wanted to do this. About a quarter of the way we realized what we had done. We had gotten into a hard situation. We stopped often, we complained and we huffed and puffed along with extreme sweating. This was the one set of stairs about half way up the trail. It was tough.

But we made it. And once we made it to the top and we looked across the land at how far we had come, we felt empowered. Empowered so that we chose to not take the shuttle back but we wanted to hike it again back.

 And I was reminded, that is exactly how our spiritual life is too! We go  through very hard times in life and it is really easy to stop with our spiritual disciplines each day. We get busy or angry so we stop reading our Bible. Or we don't understand why God allowed this or didn't do that so we stop praying. All the while if we sit down and remember, we know good and well that God has done so much for us and provided time after time in the past. Sometimes I am convinced if we would have kept a journal or a way to stop, sit down, and look back, we would have the courage to keep going. So that is what I want us to do. Starting October 1st for the next 3 months, ending December 31st, we are going to COMMIT, not just when it is convenient or we have nothing better to do, no EVERY SINGLE DAY, we are going to read our Bibles, pray for others and ourselves, give God thanks for all He has done and will do and we are going to do this in community! 

In the coming days I will create another post sharing the private group details for anyone who wants to join in. I am also creating a special journal that will be for sale on Amazon soon for any one who wants to utilize that tool to store everything in one place. If you can't afford a journal no worries just grab a cheap composition notebook. We will be sharing what we are reading, prayer requests, what God does and just doing life together. I am so excited to see what God does!!

Comment below if this is something you are interested in doing with us. Stay tuned in the coming days for more details!
