It’s always been hard for me to imagine the call to close, personal contact with other people about my faith: witnessing…especially on a regular basis. For that reason, I still had a few lingering doubts about how well I would fit into our SCC. I mean it isn’t just about my own journey, but am I really adding to the others in the group? Will I step on anyone’s toes? Will they step on mine? Bad analogy — there were a LOT of toes there last night.
Anyway, our second group meeting put all that to rest, even with a few more couples AND kids. Some of us have just met through this process, and, contrary to any worries I had, we had a great time. Open, sincere dialogue about things that are usually hard to be open about.
It’s one thing to let the circle of adults grow. It’s an additional thing to grow the group of kids. That’s right — no head trauma, no fights, no bruised feelings…the biggest complaint of the night from 15 pre-teens was that we had to go home! Great time had by all. If that’s not another clear sign of God at work in our group…you get the drift.
Every day’s an adventure — it’s really cool to share it with some other adventurers. God’s got all kinds of stuff to show us, but you can’t take the trip alone.
