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!
