Out of Body


Week 8:
            The two that really stuck out to me were the Tuesday section on Communion and the Friday section on being simultaneously in and out of your story.
            In thinking about what the union of community looks, sounds and feels like on houseboats this summer, I couldn’t help but be excited. All of us staff who will be up there this summer are at different points on our respective walks with Christ, and we have an awesome opportunity to come alongside each other in times of struggle, to really act as a support system for one another.
            I also really dug the being in the now idea. “In the now, you are simultaneously in your story and yet simultaneously outside of your story observing your own story.” Crazy! This helps me to remember that I’m saved, that I have my place in eternity after I die already for me. In a sense then, because we already know where we’ll end up, we can step outside our present lives and watch them unfold because we are saved. I think worship experiences are especially good at getting us to feel that out-of-body-ness, especially awesome experiences like this past weekend!
