My study for this week is more reflection than anything else. So here are some things to think about so we can discuss together:
- have we finished the purpose driven life book? Did you figure out what your NO. 1 purpose is? Are you serving in some way in all 5 purposes? (did ya notice how we had five purposes and there are five of us...that's God planning!). Have you completed your life statement, testimony, etc?
- Do we still want to continue to meet as a group, especially now everyone has a connect group? Or do we want to meet twice a month - on our fasting tues, and social event? Are there things we still have to do as a group eg: short term mission, prayer, serving?
RECAP 5 PURPOSES:
- to connect (relationships),
- grow (be like our Lord),
- serve (ministry, God and others),
- share (evangelism, missions),
- worship (God's pleasure, church attendance, worship tapes, personal health).
So think about it, pray about it, write about it...why don't we meet Lipo on Tues at the hospital, 7pm? lets not be late, cos visiting hours finish 8pm :)
I think for me the greatest thing the LORD has done is connect us as a group. He's given me an opportunity to build a personal relationship with you all where I feel safe enough to discuss anything. We have been a part of each others lives during a time when we all needed lots of prayer and support.
So much has happened to each of us during that time...personal lives turned upside down, work changes, relationships, major life decisions, trials galore! Imagine if we had to go thru all that on our own? Obviously, the LORD knew we would not cope on our own. But thankfully the LORD had a rescue plan for each of us - his perfect timing brought us together when we needed each other the most!
Thanks, LORD, for thinking of each of us when you formed our group and for your AWESOME perfect timing.
