1) On the way to school this morning I told the kids I was going to make a new friend today. I have someone on my heart, and I thought today would be a day we would come into contact with one another, but as the Bible study group was coming in, a young mom came in that hadn't been to the study before. I recognized her and asked her to sit down at my table. Turns out, we shared a Bible, talked being a busy mom (she has 5 children) and was my new friend for the day.
2) The lesson focused on the writers of Thessalonians. In true Beth Moore style, she took us to the Word and uncovered the way Paul, Silas and Timothy got together. Paul and Barnabas had a parting of ways. Silas came forward and traveled with Paul, then they met Timothy, who they hadn't known before. Later Timothy becomes Paul's son in the faith, and meant more to him than any other friend. Paul and Barnabus were REMIXED and God worked miracles in their lives, with people they didn't know before.
This is what we have done, we have changed churches after 19 years, we are learning from new people, we are making new friends, and who knows what God has for us there that we couldn't do at FBC. It wasn't a break up, we didn't have a blow up like Paul and Barnabus. But God DID call us, and we did change some things, and we still have the same priorities in our lives and for our children.
We're just REMIXED.
