. . .
God knows I would rather be alone than with people. I'd rather lock myself in my room with a book or Netflix + forget the World.
I've never noticed how truly lonely that is.
I'm a homebody. I crave a good book, a blanket + nothing else. It worries me that it never worried me how comfortable I am with being alone. Lately, I've been encouraged to seek community. And while it's overwhelming + I would truly just as well stay home, I'm starting to see the blessing of opening up and letting people in my island. It all boils down to trust and intentionality. How do I stay growing in Christ if I'm not with His Church?
"A lack of Church life makes us vulnerable to the enemy."- Steven J. Cole
In order to put on the full armor of Christ, I have to get into a community of believers who will encourage me + whom I can encourage.
"Your vibe attracts your tribe."Makes me wonder sometimes, what I am attracting? Am I glorifying Christ with my action, my words + attitude?
who am I attracting?
