I have a strong desire to share a personal epiphany after this Sunday's call. I shared how I've been very tired and distant from everyone for a couple of months. Thought it was adjusting to time change or full moon. Now all of that is absolutely possible then Mel asked about my passion for cooking.
While I get consumed by food and recipes. It's my mom doesn't come by with excitement or desire anymore. Back to usual judgey and negative self. Grateful for the 2-3 months of good as it was such a gift. Was able to see her as she really is on the inside. God self. Then I opened Bible to James. The whole chapter 1 speaks to me. It's verse 2-4 that was a great reminder. I was reminded of the newbies and even those who have been here a while.
2 Consider it nothing but joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you fall into various trials. 3 Be assured that the testing of your faith [through experience] produces endurance [leading to spiritual maturity, and inner peace]. 4 And let endurance have its perfect result and do a thorough work, so that you may be perfect and completely developed [in your faith], lacking in nothing.
Very happy to be there today. And to think I almost passed to shower instead. Know I was supposed to be there. Another reason to make the time. God/Jesus guide us.
Stay obedient. Welcome to anyone new to the group.
Love and peace, Jen
