As natural as it gets


Wednesday nights are our normal nights we gather at the boys house for some community time, but this one was to be a little different. Same crew, many of the people we have met along the journey and that want to share life with us, but it was far from a "meeting".

Sorry the picture above doesn't give you the real picture.....

Try and picture this........A full house, men, women and kids, most of us coming from lives of abuse, addiction, self destruction and pain, coming together for a family meal. This was one of those "naturally-supernatural moments, and one I won't forget for some time.

Guys serving alongside each other cooking, or preparing the meal.

Others setting tables, stoking the fire, collecting chairs, or just hovering around ready to fill a gap as one arose. The kids playing, amongst the organized chaos and everyone involved in this family time.

The conversations around the table were so natural, that when the meal had finished, the conversations hadn't and they flowed over into all different rooms of the house, it was priceless to see us "one anothering" with each other and with Jesus.

Our prayer has become, Father show us how to take this natural way of Kingdom activity into every part of our lives. Please pray for us as we seek Him more...

What an awesome community
