Next Step

Ok, after months of ranting, reading, swinging on the pendulum, and still feeling frustrated, we are getting our family together to talk about what we can do as a group of people who know Jesus and want to share His love in a tangible way without strings attached.

We are getting together this Friday night to have dinner and talk about some possible books we could read and discuss together. “The Secret Message of Jesus” seems to be at the top of the list this moment. L and I have discussed some ways we could reach out to our community. Since there are several of us in law enforcement the situation of bringing people becomes complicated. We discussed possibly looking into the local Loaves and Fishes and the battered women’s shelter.

I am excited to be getting together and pray. I am apprehensive that there will be a feeling that we need to organize and revert back into some habits. I am finding it is so hard to get together to just see what God is doing in each of us, there always seems to be a feeling that this purpose is not big enough. I am sad because I know the local church base does not embrace what we are doing.

I am intrigued to see how our little family handles each other’s views. I know we are not all coming from the same place, but I hope that we embrace this and know it brings depth.

I will post more after we meet and will try to follow-up as move forward.
