feeling the movement
Here we are, just over a month into our internships at the church. Aaron and Josh are here every day all day, and I am here most of the time. Savannah is here whenever she is able, and we all are encouraged by each other everyday.
We had a meeting this morning concerning the website, the outlook of worship on Sundays and any other matters of importance. It is really cool to see not only progress, but also disagreement within the group. That may sound counterproductive, but we are blessed to have such an array of voices at Emmanuel in age, in ideas of what church should be, and simple taste. Overall, we care for each other and each member of the church. Because of that we are able to be honest and work through problems and frustrations without being frustrated with certain people. Our voices are heard and represented because we all respond well to the discussions made.
Things are moving at Emmanuel; from my end I see Aaron and Kirby working constantly on plans for the future, while Randy is always working with people in the present. Josh and I seem to be all over the place respecting the past, loving the present and dreaming of the future with God as our guide. The creator is good, and God’s love endures forever. Everyone that is around Emmanuel can feel movement, what more could we ask for?
