Small Group

Last night at small group we started off talking about "togetherness" and "community". Shannon read a quote about how Christian community shouldn't happen because of loneliness, but it happens because we need a place to share our wounds. We need people to help our wounds heal . People who won't turn away from us because of what we've done because they know who we really are. One by one, we all ended up coming clean of our deepest secrets. Wounds that have been eating away at us and dragging us down. Some things that were confessed last night had never been confessed to anyone before. It was amazing to see everyone open up and everyone cry. It was such a healing experience, I'd never experienced something like that before. It was amazing. God is so good and I'm so glad he put these girls into my life. After last night I feel like confessing to these girls lifted a huge burden off my shoulders. I don't have to pretend to be perfect anymore. They know that I'm not and they still love me. In fact I found that two other girls in my group had almost the same exact story as me. I am not alone. WE are not alone. That is a great feeling. Thank you Lord for giving me these girls to grow with.
