Becoming who we are...

As humans we need interaction with other humans. Iron sharpens iron just as we sharpen each other in the faith. Its a necessity.

I have a family. They're not related by blood or marriage or anything else that can join you as an earthly family. I have a family of believers, my brothers and sisters in Christ.

A week ago I was also in a relationship that was becoming disasterous to my soul. And within one week that all changed. I broke off the relationship. And when I did I felt this burden lifted and this freedom landed on my heart. And a friend from work invited me with him to hang out with his group, his family. And we worshiped. And prayed, and cried, and fellowshipped. My heart told me that this was where I was meant to be. Not just in the physical place inside of an apartment but the place inside my heart where I found all of that joy. God was calling me back to His feet. And I came running...
