Seth’s World View

I decided to go to the early service today, as my roommate and a portion of my small group are there are that time, and seating is more readily available. Kate Hurley did music, and was quite worshipful. Darren (our pastor) spoke of Joseph and the redemptive process, how we revisit our pain, how we aren’t just magically over our disappointments. And of course, pain and disappointment are already in my heart, so a few tears formed. I did worship today too. Still, upon the service ending, I wasn’t joyful, but I was wanting to say ‘hi’ to a few people, without knowing how long I would actually stay. So I conversed, and connecting, and happily stayed until the next service began. Then I left, realizing I felt encouraged, and loved, and valued. There have been many times I haven’t experienced these things on Sunday morning, so I’m thankful, thankful for the people who make up this local body.

Landon just walked in and said hi. It’s always interesting to meet the EJ community outside of Everyday Joe’s. For now, I will go back to preparing my Bible study and drinking my stale coffee at a coffee shop that shall remain nameless. Later….
