Tears...

During the last song of our worship service today, my eyes filled up with tears thinking about not being at Redeemer for 12 weeks. That's a long time to be away from my community, spiritual family, and the worship of God.

My body and mind will be at rest but what about my spirit? Redeemer is not just a job, not just a church - it's a place where I encounter the living God, walk in community and am fully known.

I will miss you and have to trust that God will meet me each Sunday and fill my heart with his presence.

  2. I so remember like it was last night the evening you and Jason and 20 or so Redeemer members gathered in my living room to meet one another, most for the first time...that may have been one of the first steps on your encounter and journey with Redeemer, but it became so abundantly clear to me that evening you two had long been on a deep encounter and journey with our Lord. Your amazing soft and devoted hearts were so apparent and vulnerable and real in a way I'd so rarely witness in others. I trust God that this will be a time when he will further stretch and grow your walk with Him and the ways and places in which you can daily encounter Him. Godspeed.
