Groupie

I am officially a "groupie" again! Oh, how I have missed it....

Ok, I better explain, as I am sure you might be confused by now. Our church does "small groups". Some churches call them "bible studies" or "lifebuilders". It's just a group of people meeting once a week to discuss the week's message more in depth or how to apply biblical principles to our every day lives. Plus, when you attend a church as large as Metro, it is a great way to get to know other members on a more personal level. If you aren't a part of a small group or chuch ministry, it is easy to "fall through the cracks" and never meet other members.

I was attending another small group over a year ago. Things changed, the group changed, and I ended up leaving the group. I hadn't gone to another small group since. I didn't realize how much I missed it, or how much my spiritual growth was "stunted" because of it. Until now....
My dear friend, Annie, and her husband, Roger, became a host home for a new small group this year. I thought- here is my chance to join group again. There were a thousand reasons for me not to go- too long of a drive to IL, the group starts late meaning I will have a late night on Mondays, Keith can't go with me,...... But, I went in spite of the reasons. The reasons I should be going totally outweighed the reasons not to go. I am so glad that I did.

I missed the in depth discussions. I missed the way that the topics make you really look at how you are living your life. I missed the fact that I know I can count on this group of people to pray for me and that I can pray for them in return. I just missed it........
Plus, it gives me a chance to spend quality time with my friend Annie.

Mondays used to be my least favorite day of the week. Not anymore.......
