My first post and we've been on this journey for over 3 weeks. We've been super busy with #imagine and the opening of the Jeffreys Bay high school Global Leadership Academy. We've been learning a lot about serving and with what heart you are serving.
Our vision is Live, Serve & Grow. We have been challenged to live together as a team doing everything together. You can imagine that with 6 girls living in a small space. I can't lie. It's been great. We have a lot of fun but it has it's challenges.
I feel like this is a great time of being shaped and equipped for community living and what it looks like. A struggle for me is that I become dependent on the people around me to bring me closer to God. Feed of their journey and experiences. This is obviously a problem...
We had a long term missionary come talk to us about what she is doing in Jordan and it was very inspiring to hear how she was called to go there and she made me ask a question to myself, if the Lord calls me to go somewhere will I be willing to listen and let go of the people and do what He wants me to do? To be honest I would hate to leave the people behind I've been walking a journey with but then I have to ask the question whether I don't want to leave them behind because I am depending on them to keep my relationship going with Jesus.
Something in my heart needs to change and I should just take the time to sit down and spend time with Him to build a real relationship so that when He does call me to go somewhere that I will be dependent on Him for everything. My focus should be on Him and no one else should influence my decisions when He calls me to do something.
Community is important but it can become dangerous when you have the wrong heart about it.
