The 30-Day Faith Experiment

I went into our Home Team Bible Study tonight feeling a little guilty. I had not taken upon myself the challenge of committing to the "Surprise Me God" experiment. I have been through a rough time at work lately and I guess I was feeling a little sorry for myself (I tend to do this!). I tend to feel unworthy of the Grace and Love that Jesus has freely given me. I tend to get bogged down under the weight of the Sacrifice even though it was freely given to me.

After sharing, laughing, and praying with each other-I was encouraged by the support and acceptance that I have felt since Day One at Pioneer Drive. I have only been attending the Gathering for a little over 3 weeks now but it has been an answer to prayer. I have bounced around from job to job and town to town for the last 10 years and realized that I have never given any of those stops a chance to become "home" because I was always looking off into the distance for the next best thing. When you are constantly working towards the future, what joy is there in the present?!?

After hearing the courage, commitment, and excitement of my Home Team I was encouraged by the safety I felt as I began to get excited about the next 30 days. I am really looking forward to praying "Surprise Me God" for the first time tomorrow and see what ways I am challenged and, well, SURPRISED!!!
