Timid and a bit scared, but gotta get out there~

Hmmmm

So last week I went to one of Mars Hill's main campus church in Ballard with Chris and Chate.

It was very different from the rest of the churches I had been visiting, but all the same I adjusted well :)

My reflections and what God taught me while I was at this church:
-It doesn't hurt to keep up with technology. Christians are competing against the world, so we gotta keep up! Christians are to love the world, so we gotta watch them develop and "follow" to learn about them as well.

I think that goes with all relationships: Grow together and you never stop learning about your significant other as change is a constant, so people will evolve :)

-Their leadership is crazzzziiiieeee unified. When you talk to one person or ask them a question, they all have the same answer! That's awesome. I mean the leadership wasn't set up in an autocratic way, so each answer had an individualistic spice to it ;), and you can really tell that the leadership knew each other very well and very initimate.

-After service, Pastor Mark Driscoll was waiting outside but he was so scarey to approach! >.< I did the hesitant "should i go talk to him now? later? is it ok?" tango back and forth, people prolly thought I had to go to the bathroom xp.

-I LOVE THAT THEY LET YOU DRINK COFFEEE DURING SERRVVIIICCEEEE!!!! :D

-Distractions: There was too much freedom. People walking about doing whatever they wanted. The cameras were a bit distracting too, but it was ok :)

-The worship: You can tell they take worship VERY SERIOUSLY. The worship leader was literally a one man band..one minute he's strumming the guitar and then you take a moment to close your eyes to be in tune with the Lord..then you open your eyes and see that his guitar is on the stand and now the worship leader is holding a tambourine..



Admittedly, I was naughty girl this Sunday. I knew the message Mark Driscoll shared was going to be broad casted online so..I didn't try as hard as I should have to stay awake xp.

Anywho. That was my last Sunday experience. This Sunday, I may be going to Mars Hill at a sister location to see what that's like OR I shall mosey on over to IHOP.

Man, I am learning SO MUCH.

blessings! :D

So, God has put it on my heart that it's time to stop shutting myself away. The time was def. necessary, but man, now i'm scared. haha The only people I've been seeing were pretty much coworkers, students, mom, and...haha the occasional meet ups with people who give me a call~

I dunno if i'm ready yet, as I still feel somewhat of a wreck..and kinda alone in this..maybe I am and God needs just that from me..but *sigh* here I go~

Lately, I've been doing better with strangers than close people it's kinda weird..but I needed to learn this esp. when I have an evangelistic heart; everyone should know about Jesus and His love. EVERYONE.

Whoops. sorry to cut this one short, but it's time to meet with my mentors!

ciao~!
