We had a great time this morning. We spent almost three hours at Starbucks chatting with a couple that we met online. They’re on a similar journey to ours, and it’s so nourishing to sit with people who are on the same wavelength and talk about Jesus, Church, work, fishing, alligators, Jesus, legalism, Jesus, kids, crazy “praise “songs you can’t believe you used to sing with such gusto (don’t be stingy, don’t be tight???**), having babies, being pastors in our environment, giving money to homeless people you know are lying to you, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus. And we learned from each other. We don’t have another meeting time scheduled but we’ll get together again soon. Our time together might be only for a while because our friends are thinking about moving out West soon to be near family. That would be sad, but it would be OK because we trust Father. It’s not up to us. That almost three hour time period went by so quickly, and we could have sat there for a few more hours. It was great. Thanks, Papa, for putting people on our path for a time to share this life in you.

It is just so beautiful to see and hear of the church of Jesus Christ, our pastor, blessing us with the privilege of not forsaking the gathering together and sharing His life with one another! Truly an awesome experience! Thank you Tina for sharing your life and heart with us all. Maranatha! <
