So Cold Yet So Warm

The temperature outside my window when I got up this morning was a balmy 10 degrees. The high today is 15 degrees. The wind chill right now is minus 2 to minus 4. They are saying 0 for the low tonight and wind chills as much as minus 20. That's crazy cold! Last night as people were coming to church it was just starting to get cold. As we left church last night it was freezing drizzle and a strong wind. It's cold! (So be careful out there, especially those who are elderly.)

Last night kicked off our Wednesday nights again. It had been 2 Wednesdays since we had met. It was great to be back and see people again. We had a really good group despite the weather. Though it was cold outside, the fellowship happening inside was very warm. It's good to have a warm place to meet as well as a warm church family to learn with, pray with, and just share life with. Praise God for the blessing of each other.

I'm praying that Wednesdays would continue to grow and amp up again. I think that every person, no matter where they spiritually, will benefit from being involved in a group or class on Wednesday nights. It's a time to get to know one another better and form closer relationships. It's a safe place to learn and ask questions. I will continue to pray for everyone to have those type of relationships in their life, whether it's built through Wednesday nights, Sunday School classes, or small groups.

May 2010 be the year of HUGE spiritual growth in all of us at Oakwood! Bring it on, Lord!

Stay warm out there!
