This week many unexpected adjustments have needed to be made. I am not the best when it comes to change, but I am learning that it easier to get through with prayer and great friends. Sometimes things don't turn out at all what you think they will be like, but God has a plan in all of it. My friends have helped me to get through things a lot this week and in that respect I am truly blessed.
This idea went along well with what the Pastor preached about at church today. My notes on the sermon looked like this:
1. If we all know that Christ is risen and strive to serve him we can all come together as one. We can look past all the differences that are between us and be one in Christ.
2. We are called to live in unity. This means: dying to ourselves, making it a priority, and striving for consensus not concession.
3. We (I) need to put others before ourselves.
Overall we need to look like a community in unison for Christ rather than one divided by all our differences.
This was definitely something I needed to hear and will try to put it into practice as much as possible.
Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful. And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching. Hebrews 10:23-25
