COM[m]unity

you weren't expecting this. not this night.

you sit in a room with a group of people you've known for a little less than two years, most for less than six months. friendly acquaintances easily outnumber close friends.

what begins as a fairly standard gathering gradually turns into an intensely edifying, Spirit-filled evening.

real struggles, worries, cares, and joys laid out in the open. barriers broken down. tears shed. praises sung. all confronted by overwhelmingly solid truth, and the thickness of His presence.

the words spoken, the people present, all that happened in the way it did - it could not have been a coincidence. it was wanted and willed. a sovereign God was behind it, in front of it, over it, underneath it, in it.

He's too good not to be true.
