intelectual emotionalism.

i dunno how much i've talked about my discipleship past.. but here it is: in 2007 a best friend of mine, carly, referred her aunt, aunt debbie, to me as a client. aunt debbie... is pretty much awesome. so when she told me about how she taught a discipleship group... i said "i'm in." after going to bible college... and now being married.. i suddenly though. "ok.. this life is for real. and i need to be purposeful with it."

throughout that year of sitting around aunt debbie's table God did an amazing work. it wasn't just knowledge, and facts, and sharing... it was an intimate relationship that was growing between me and my Lord. 2007 was the year when i started to really feel my hashimotos, i didn't know what it was then unfortunately, so even though it was an awful year physically... i experienced the Hand of Grace, and that was so much more important.

so here i am. in Los Angeles. with a call to discipleship. now what? i was getting so discouraged when we moved here and the doors were just not opening. but God is faithful and this year.. right when aunt debbie always starts her group. i had a group here. there are 5 us now meeting every saturday morning. to pray, eat, share, worship, and dig into who Jesus is. it's so awesome to see how much our heavenly Father provides all our needs. even our need for fellowship. (and accountability)

SO much is changing in our life right now. and even though it is scary.. we are not called to go through it alone. whew!

"that which is born of flesh is flesh and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit." John 3:6
