Thursday nights are our night for small group and tonight was no exception. We love our small group. When we first started it I told Eric who God had laid on my heart to invite and he laughed and said, yeah, they won't come. Well, surprisingly to Eric, they came! He's still amazed by the people who come consistently even though some don't go to church. They all engage, even the shy ones and that's such a blessing. Sometimes I get anxious or nervous a couple days ahead because of getting the house/food ready etc but I told Eric tonight that's it's a good thing we have small group because it's guaranteed that our house gets cleaned at least once a week. lol
Tonight as I crawled into bed I checked Facebook one last time, lame I know, and one girl from our group had sent a message saying how much she enjoys our small group, how real Eric and I are and how that's just what she needs in this season of her life. That meant so much to us! They've expressed before through prayer etc...what an influence this has had on their lives and I just thank God for bringing them to us. We've been there for them through tough times and they were there to pray with us through Eric's heart scare. I love the way God places people in your life for different seasons. This season with our small group has been such a great blessing...even if I am the oldest one in the group. :( BOO!! haha
