member

there is something great about exceeded expectations. we've just had 16 americans for 10 whole days. and with them they brought a flurry of activity and plenty of enthusiasm. but the whole experience was more than i could ever have imagined and i was not prepared for what God would show me.

i was privileged to see the body of Christ at work. overwhelmed by what happens when everyone pulls together. pulls their weight. is a member of the body.

i worked with three different teams and while at times i wanted to pull my hair out because my phone wouldn't stop ringing, questions needed answers, and people direction. it was still a joy. i had my team of colleagues, my church here in england and my visiting church.

and the thing is we couldn't have done it without each other. if at any one point one had said, no thanks, not interested in being a member of this body it would have fallen apart.

and i am so thankful. thankful for God's grace. thankful for every member in the body of Christ. and thankful we are not left to our own but we've been given each other to accomplish greater things together :)
