The journey has begun

Our JustFaith group is formed and we have begun the journey.

I thought it might be helpful to start a blog about our group.  I have wanted to take part in JustFaith for years and am excited as well as anxious that we have begun.

I long to imrpove my relationship with God and my hope is that through this process I would be humbled and vulnerable because that is the place where God always meets me.  Now that I think of it, God meets me always but it is when I am vulnerable and uncomfortable that I meet Him.

He is always faithful.  He never changes but at the same times is always changing in the ways he reaches me. He uses different people, different events, the extraordinary, the every day...  If I am willing to listen, willing to quiet my own thoughts, willing to put aside my own self-absorption and self-doubt then I can fully hear Him.

So, I guess that is my prayer for our group that we would fully hear God on this journey.  That we would find ways to quiet our busy, distracted lives so that we may seek Him.  I'm anxious to learn from the people that have been put in this group.  It is not a mistake that we have been placed together and I am thankful for each of them.
