Rise!

What a day! What an awesome day!

So here you go.

We had our Sojourn Core/Launch Team gathering this morning. We started off with High's and Low's. This something we do every once in a while. What we do is whoever wants to can share some high's and low's from their week. And our goal is to use this time for us to get to know one another better, and to grow some real deep relationships.

We'll everybody seemed to have some pretty major lows this past week. Every body had something to say about their job, whether is was "I had a hard time with my manager," or "I still can't find a job," or "I may not have a job next month." So some seriously heavy stuff.

What was great is that I had no idea Toby was going to start us off that way this week, and I already had this song planned. It's not really a song, but a short chorus. It goes like this...

I may be down, but I will rise
It may be dark, but God is light

And it was perfect! It was right where everyone was at. We all pretty much had something really bad happen this week, and God had already been planning some encouragement for us.

It felt so right to be right there this morning. I couldn't help that feeling of "This is where I'm supposed to be."

I hope everyone was encouraged this morning the way I was through God's plan. It made me feel like I'm really following God's plan, and He's really leading us through this.

I hope we at Sojourn continue to have these moments that God designs perfectly for us to have Him meet our needs.
