Day#8
Today's Joy in the journey is truly that...because it started almost 4 years ago. It is hard to believe that 3 years ago Michael and I were praying and awaiting God's green light on a leading a Co-ed Life Group at Grace. God had laid it on our hearts to help bridge the gap between NP and real life groups. I have been blessed to get to know him over the years and God gave us the green light in September of 2012 to start a co-ed group. The journey was filled with ups and downs...filled with a lot of laughter and tears...2 trips to Mexico City and a lot Indians games along the way.
I have learned SOOOO much from leading with him over the past year or so... But one of the most powerful lessons I learned from Michael is how to say "No" and it is okay to say "No". Grateful for his constant reminder over the past 4 years that saying "No" is not only okay it is a necessity!!!
Last New Year's eve was very scary for our LG as Michael had a heart attack. His Doctor told him to slow down and really focus on his health, and he did great for the first couple months and then not so much. So it was bittersweet today as Michael announced to our life group that he was stepping down from leadership and our group to focus on his health. Thankful for Michael and Thankful for the journey! #notforeverjustfornow #OOLifegroup #joyin365journey
