Well, a few weeks ago i blogged about starting a small group - 3 weeks into it & there's some encouraging things:
This week a brother brought an Alistair Brown song along. We listened, thought, turned our hearts towards God then opened the Psalms. People dug around then just read one out that reflected a similar cry - for help, for nearness, of God's goodness... Then another brother opened 1 Peter 5 - 7 we recognised who OUR enemy is, that God is still caring & active, & THEN God led me to get us to pull out the verbs - & BOOM we'd had a great study with practical applications!! It's great to see God lead us through His word!!
We also have a variety of needs & gifts - as always
My prayer is that i will continue to address the needs in prayer - keep learning to let God be the healer & not try to be the healer myself - that has burnt me in the past!!! God has given me a compassionate heart & i love helping people in trouble - but the greatest help i can give is to lift their burdens to God & help practically - no to try & carry their burdens myself!
Early days, but i am being reminded of my gifts & blessed with God's leading - may He continue to grow us as His people, his whanau, where community is real & God is known
Bless you people
