True Community

Well everyone, it has been quite the last week and a half. We are still here, the babies are still inside, and now we wait.
I just wanted to take this quick moment to thank everyone for being as great as they have been. People have brought us meals, emailed us, and just come by to chat, and it has been such a blessing!!!
There is something that a truly awesome man by the name of Scott Ketrow taught us this summer while we were in Colorado. We studied Galatians probably more in depth than any other book I ever had before, at least in a large group setting. There were countless things that were revealed that have truly affected the way I live and believe, and this is one of those things, and it applies to what we have been seeing over the past week and a half. In chapter 5, we are all familiar with the fruit of the spirit, peace, patience, joy, love, kindness, goodness, and self control. Those are found in verses 22 and 23. However, if you look up at verses 14 and 15, Paul talks about loving one another, and not devouring each other, and then you can see he is transitioning to tell us about the Spirit's work in our lives. His work is meant to be shown and displayed in community, amongst other believers, and non believers. We are called to show all of these things towards each other. The Holy Spirit living in us produces these good things so that we can show our faith in the faithfulness of Christ. Mind boggling.
Anyway, all of that is to say, thank you everyone. Thank you for showing your love for Christ and us as we seek out how to best glorify Him during this more than interesting time. We love you all and look forward to hearing from, or seeing you soon!
