Friday Night Reflections

--This past friday was our first meeting at LCCC.
--Praise God we finally made it to the campus! I am unbelievably excited about what God is going to do there! We met in the commons area of the community center, and we plan on meeting there weekly on Fridays at 7pm for the rest of the semester.
--We spent our time dreaming about what God wants to do in this new community.... how we could bless it, how we could learn from it, etc.
--We started with the question: what is the best personal story you can tell? We swapped some of our favorite stories and shared some hilarious personal memories. The underlying theme proved to be 'danger.' The best stories of our lives usually have to do with times that we did things that were dangerous... times that we made ourselves vulnerable.
--We were challenged, as a group, to be 'STORY MAKERS' at LCCC... and to create those stories, we are going to have to do things that may be uncomfortable.
--In my closing prayer, I usually pray for blessing and safety as we depart; but in the middle of the prayer, God challenged me to pray for danger. Pray for discomfort, that others may be more comfortable. Pray for vulnerability, that others can relate to our transparency. Pray for danger, that the greatest STORIES of our lives are still to come, in the context of blessing others.

Looking for danger,
