All Things Considered

for 4-5-15

1 Thessalonians 5:!6-18
Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.

praying continually is one of the best things ever and because of God I can rejoice always and be filled with the holy spirit in love and pushing through everything.  no matter what my circumstances are, i can be glad in the lord's gift of a new situation to me.  that situation is something for me to learn and grow from.

gosh. so i like the community that i'm beginning to enter and build, but i'm also scared out of my mind about the possibility of it all being a cult.  what if i'm getting into something bigger than i expected.  worse than i could have ever imagined.  it needs to be biblical. and now im conflicted.  and im unsure of what to really do. i need to continually pursue you, and i know in my heart what's right.  i know from knowledge of the bible and your word--what i've already learned from you and what you help me to know by your spirit.

i'm wary, but i've already made certain commitments to this new thing.  but i haven't totally left Navs either.  i'm inclined to keep up with both, but i dont think that's necessarily right. i don't think there's anything in Navs for me to learn in. but on thursday afternoons, there's on campus study for the vineyard.  i think it's necessary for me to try that.  concurrently with this new thing... i pray for your guidance through this winding path.
