community

Community- Genuine. Life on life. Accountability. Accepting, no matter what. Serving one another. Openness. Sacrificial love. Forgiving. Willing to be foolish together. Laughter. Deep. Spurring one another on toward faith. Transparent. Giving. Friends becoming family.

Acts 2:42-47

I have always been fascinated by the body of Christ. I just think it's amazing how God created His body (believers of Christ) to demonstrate His character! I love seeing Him work in others and reveal His love, grace, and mercy through those who follow Him! All this to say--- I have learned so much more about community this past year than ever before!! I am mainly speaking about our Lifegroup here in Waco, but I also think our friends from West Coast to East Coast have played a vital role in showing me the love and support of Christ through the way they have generously sowed in our lives through prayer, giving, and loving the junk out of us!! So thank you dear friends here in Waco and thank you friends outside of Texas for your amazing friendship!!! This past month we have received over $13,000!!!! This is INSANE people!!! Zach and I are continuously OVERWHELMED by your KINDNESS towards us!!! We are now under $55,000 left to pay off of school debt! This is unbelievable and we are so VERY THANKFUL for your hearts to give!!! I just can't believe that ya'll would want to give to us like that!!! And I can't believe how GOOD God has been to us!!! And he has used his Body to do it!!!! Our hearts are always FULL!! Thank you!!
