Hey guys.... this has been laid on my heart the last few days....
We are about to go through a time of change at Bluegrass. I am really excited about it, but not everyone will be. There will be spiritual warfare to contend with. I hope that we can recognize it, that we will call it out for what it is, and that we will stick together. I love all of you guys....seriously. I remember the year that Aaron and I spent in Hendersonville before joining Bluegrass. It was lonely, and something was missing! We feel so fortunate to have this group of people to share life with. I also remember the Fall of 2006 and what an incredibly difficult time that was for us, and how you guys helped us pull through and come out stronger. What an incredible blessing.
All that to say, let's stick together during this time, be honest and loving towards each other, avoid gossip and harshness, apologize and forgive! I have already had to do all that this week!
Love you guys-
Loren

WOW! You are 100% on! I appreciate your insight and the courage to share it with the group. So many times we may think it but say, that is not really true, i feel stupid saying this to anyone. Thank you each for how you inspire me and challenge me to pursue God more. He is making each of us "mighty warriors" for such a time as this. I love you guys...you are the best! love, wendy
Very true! I want to add that we need to try to remain positive about all these changes. It's exciting and difficult for many people with all the changes that are happening. We need to think about things before we say them....I agree on the gossip thing for sure it only hurts others. I know we all can't be best friends but we all need to love one another and treat each other equally! Thanks for writing this blog!
.....do I really even need to say anything? I think just signing my name alone would say everything....
This group has brought us through so many diffucult times in the short time that we have been a part of this amazing family. I can honestly say that Brian and I would have turned tail and ran back to Louisiana...on more than one occassion...without the prayers, love, and support of all you guys. Not to mention the fact that you all can move a family of five in under two hours....;0)
I think you are very right Loren, we are at war, and we need to extend grace to each other, now more than ever before. None of us are perfect, and we are all called to love unconditionally and forgive immediately... it's a tall order but who are we to not obey?
