wed. night rock stars
hey guys.
Tonight's home group was really rad for me. I want to raise up both Tom and Rae Ann for stepping out and being really honest with some big issues tonight. I think you guys being willing to really share some struggles opened up the rest of the group and I appreciate what came of it. Also, a word of encouragement for Rae Ann. You say you want to trust God with your kids and how much their lives are out of your own control. When you were saying that, I was thinking, "wow, I'm so not ready for kids. I don't even trust God with my lunch money most of the time." What I'm saying is-yeah, you may be struggling to trust God to take care of your kids, but I'm inspired by the way you have trusted him to take care of so many other things. Your faith is an example to me.
alrighty then, here's to being more holy next week.

oh holly. my faith is so darn weak. i still struggle with the "lunch money" stuff... the kids are just the icing on the faith-cake and it's an issue that's so much more stretching than i feel ready for. i think that out of all of the things that i long to have stronger faith for, my kids are just the least within my control. plus, they're my kids! my worries, concerns, and struggles regarding them are painfully deep and probably deeper than any other "fear factor" in my life.
however, i think alot of those fears just come with mommy-hood. it's what we do with them...
thanks for your thoughts. it's encouraging and a good reminder to keep surrendering my fears. who knew i was such a control freak?! ((shut up, tom))
on another note, i freakin' love wednesday nights! our little HC has turned out to be an amazing part of my life and it's spurred me to deeper levels faster than i ever could have anticipated. i love hearing (and sometimes participating) in the conversations and i really love being with a group of people that i don't know all that well, but still feel deeply connected to. you guys are rad and i'm so thankful for all of you!

I must say I'm surprised by how much I love this hc thing! We were so nervous to go visit. It has been such a blessing to have you all. I am so grateful to the starters of this hc (you know who you are). Thank you for this, I look forward to growing with you all.
