When I was younger—especially when I entered middle school—community was everything. If you didn’t have any friends school was hard, lonely, and just miserable. There are two types of community—there’s the community of God’s people and the community of wanting to please the world. I’ve been part of both and let me tell you: trying to please the world is exhausting, unfulfilling, and a waste of your time.
I enjoyed reading this. Made me think about how I unexpectedly stayed the night away from home & have to wear the same pants I wore last night to a church event to church this morning. I started to worry what ppl would think then I remembered…I’m only interested in impressing us Jesus.
Wow! Such a simple reminder, but timely for me. :-) definitely sharing this one…
Thank you! 😊
Welcome. Just shared it with my church family too…

I loved your examples. Prayers today and in the days ahead as you face Milton’s arrival.
Thank you!!! 🙏
