i had a great conversation with my pastor chris today about genesis 3 and the gender issues that result because of the man and the woman choosing to be independent from God. it was quite refreshing on so many levels but i think the best part about it was that i actually have a pastor that i can sit down and chat about stuff like this with. ever since i started university, i never really felt settled in a church. it has only really been in the last 5 months since i started going to forestview that i really have felt i was worshipping in a church i that "fit" in. i always had intervarsity as a community to worship with but it is nice to find it beyond campus too.
it isn't all roses and ice cream though as the church is just freshly planted and is currently experiencing some uncertainties around the future if there isn't some significant growth in the coming months. i would hate to see the church have to fold because i feel so blessed having found it and know that God is there each week with us. it is just hard to understand sometimes how God works in this...feeling He is there but not knowing how long the church can last in the state it is in. i must admit i feel it is impossible for me to bring in all the people i feel need to be a part of what is happening, but i know that i merely need to have faith that God can pull this off. some days that is easier than others...
in other news, there are some crickets that have taken up residence in my window well making falling asleep a little bit more of a challenge than usual.
