Biblical Fellowship Class

Hi Family and Friends,
The lack of a blog post yesterday will not become the norm so for those of you who were beginning to panic (Grams) this was because we were busy from dawn to dusk. Grams by the way is Joshua's mom who is a faithful reader of our blog and it is partly on her behalf that we try and post everyday. We love you "Gramsies the Great"!

Joshua and I were at a biblical fellowship class from 9am till 4pm which took much planning and preparation to go to. From prepping milk cups and breakfast the night before to setting up babysitters weeks in advance. Trying to write out a detailed schedule so that no one would lose sanity like mom does everyday trying to take care of our children. Thank you Evelyn and Jenna for serving us yesterday. I was up at 6am, showered, dressed, maternity vitamin, breakfast and was out the door by 8:30. Thank you to my sweet husband who led me well in planning for the day.

We learned so much to take with us and apply to our life as individuals and by God's grace teach and model to people we will be serving in ministry together. We heard several lectures such as "Accountable Pastors/Accountable Churches" and "Change Happens When You... Target the Heart" to name a few. It will take much needed time to digest it all and by God's grace we will be able to implement it in our life. We are grateful to Kenneth Maresco for coming and teaching this class. What we learned will serve us a lifetime.

This quote was very helpful to see the importance of biblical fellowship from "Instruments In The Redeemers Hands".

"The reality of spiritual blindness has important implications for the Christian community... I need you in order to really see and know myself. Otherwise, I will listen to my own arguments, believe my own lies, and buy into my own delusions. My self perception is as accurate as a carnival mirror. If I am going to see myself clearly, I need you to hold the mirror of God's word in front of me." - Paul Tripp
