It's all Coming Together

well, many of you know that I have been looking for a church home since I have been in Jackson. I have only been here two weeks but I feel like if I just plugged in somewhere, then I would be more comfortable with my life situation. Talking to Carrie (another intern at the STAR center) and Melanie (a music therapist that works at STAR), they mentioned that they had bible study on Wednesday nights. I asked if I could go with them to see what kind of church it was and to get out of the house, but more importantly I was in desperate need of God's word. Reading the bible is something that you can do by yourself and take from it what you can. I love going to bible study because not only are you studying God's word, you are learning from what others are doing and how you can apply it to your own life and for learning something like the bible, you need all the help you can get.

When we got into the group and started talking, Dustin, the group leader, said that he wanted to really start a group that had a vision. Let me back up, the group that we were in is for that awkward age where you have graduated (or almost graduated) and are in the work force, but don't have a family of your own. So since we are at that age where things are changing, and we have different worries and focuses on life, Dustin thought it would be a good idea to basically do our own thing. Well going on, there were a lot of ideas thrown around about what we could do to make the group dynamic be more close knit. One idea was starting our own praise and worship (they usually praise and worship with the college group downstairs and then come up for bible study). Long story short, Carrie volunteered to lead praise and worship and I volunteered to help. Melanie was not there at the time but we kinda volunteered her too. They called us the STAR center trio..lol. So I will let you know how all that goes. :) Another good day at work so far..even though it is only 10:15. Creative Arts at 11 then basically finished for the day!
