It's Week Three Already

Connections were slowly being made with my roommates, with the community, and with TGC Bronxites. God's providence is that this is going to be a SLOW process ... and I'm having a little difficulty with that. I've come to accept that Abba is sovereign and always has the best plans in mind which means for me that if He wants to do this slowly ... then it's a GOOD thing. As I dream of TGC Bronx, Rob Bell continues to succinctly word my dreams. I leave you with his words below from Velvet Elvis.

The goal is for the church to be these unique kinds of people who are transforming the places they live and work and play because they understand the whole earth is filled with the kavod [glory in Hebrew] of God. God isn't in one building only. Doing things for God happens all the time, everywhere. ... And our story is God's story. So many of us have been conditioned to think of our faith as solely an issue of us and God. But faith is a communal experience. A shared journey. ... the point of our stories and our faith journey is that they are about something much bigger.
