Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See,
I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am
making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.
Isaiah 43:18-19 (NIV)
At any given moment
in our lives each of us has...
- Conversations we've been putting off.
- Reasonable risks we've been avoiding.
- Goals we want to achieve.
Yet often times the
more significant an action feels the easier it is to put it off. We get
distracted from the big decisions by the immediate needs of the day. What all
of us seem to have in common is that we need a nudge, a nudge to help us get
out of our ruts and routines so that we can begin risking bravely.
Sometimes, good people wait patiently for God to
intervene when what he is wanting is for us to act bravely and do
something. Being a follower of Jesus calls for courage. The journey
feels unexpected and unconventional. It requires bravely playing hide
and seek in the dark, confronting the fears that scare us and holding
the hand of a redeemer-guide who calls us to courageous acts of risk and
trust. It means coloring outside of the lines. Dreaming bigger than we
ever have before and getting swept up into the plans of a God who leaves
us breathless with wonder.
It takes courage to ask brave questions and even
more courage to search for the answers. We are so excited to journey
alongside you this year as we ask one another what it means to “Be you,
Bravely”.
Come join us! Our first meeting of the 2014-15 year will be Wednesday, August 6th. If you are unable to attend the first meeting, you are welcome to join us at any time during the year.
