I don't know what my deal is. I complain to God about everything (working on not having a whiny spirit) and just when I'm ready to throw in the towel, He does something amazing, showing me that I really need to have more faith and not be admitting defeat.
All week, I've been thinking about my church situation. I'm frustrated for not really being involved in one and not gaining a community. Well, last night, Lauren and I decided to go to the Village Church (we love it there, but its very hard to get involved in). I opened the bulletin and BAM! God had answered prayers. The first announcement was the beginning of a ministry for special needs children, something I had been looking for in a church so I could get involved. Then further down the page, there was an announcement about making reforms to the singles ministry at the Village and they needed 75 volunteers...must be a big change if you need that many people! Right now, the singles ministry consists of home groups (which are almost impossible to be involved in as a grad student b/c of night classes) and a once a month "gathering". So we'll see. I just need to learn to wait on God and not get all fussy and whiny about everything. In Psalm 37:7 it reminds us to "Be still before the Lord and wait patiently on Him..." I really need to adjust my focus and last night was a good reminder of that.
