So my Com Life Experience has started with a bang.

 

We had a wonderful family dinner last night and time of bonding over the game Mad Gab. Fabulous adult entertainment I might add.

 

This morning we met for our corporate devotions and prayer time. I don't know what I was expecting but it was awesome. We first discussed our perspective of worship, and then read John 13. This is the account of Jesus washing his disciples feet. It is an ultimate act of love. We took time to reflect on ourselves and then took time to wash each others feet as we felt led.

 

What a humbling experience!! You really have to think about your level of pride and your level of humility. I am not as humble as I thought I was. Pride is an issue that God has been dealing with me on for a while. To have to come face to face with it in a room full of people is humbling in itself. I had to decide am I going to deal with this or am I going to sit here and pretend? I am so good at not divulging my feelings - sometimes even to myself. Ultimately, I decided that I am here to get the broken things repaired in my life and if I don't let God help me do the work, why didn't I just stay home? I desperately want to be who God is calling me to be and to be as open and honest as I possibly can. No more "hiding" in my self-built wall of protection. It doesn't work so well anyway.

 

Pride comes before a fall and I am so tired of falling and staying in a rut. It's good to be in an environment where I feel safe to fall and safe to accept the help with getting back up on my feet. 

 

 I don't know what God has planned for this experience but I'm here for the long haul and I'm determined to enjoy the ride.
