Sarcasm and Submission

Hello Everyone! Welcome to our newly founded blog. I'm personally very excited about the opportunity this creates, and I hope you all are too.

When we were meeting this past Monday Melissa mentioned how encouraging it would be sharing our thoughts, struggles, and victories. That really resonated with me, and I thought it would be an awesome and powerful tool to have a resource where we, as a community group, could talk, vent, question, and share our experiences with one another.

I am hoping this blog will be that tool, and that we all will have the opportunity to read, respond and even post to this blog anything that's happening with us, or on our minds and in our hearts as we progress through this time of fasting.

I think a blog is our best format for this kind of forum because we can write lengthy posts- posts that would be cumbersome to read AND write in text message format! However this would also be a great place to post quick encouragements, cries out for help, or links to resources and books that we think would be encouraging to others/where really powerful to us.

So please, take some time, consider what this blog can do for you, but also how you could possibly use it to encourage others. Sometimes just hearing someone share a story of grace, or reading about how you were struggling in a situation and made it through, can really encourage another person. So if you think you don't have much to offer this, think again. You never know what little thing written could be used by God to help someone through a tough time in their life.

If you aren't comfortable or familiar with blogs in general, dont let that stop you! please email me(kmgrant11@gmail.com) or ryn (ryngrant12@gmail.com) and we will be thrilled to post something for you!

Thank you all for being an awesome group of people. Even on the Monday's when I am super grumpy and hate everything, you guys bring me out of my funk and I leave with a better attitude and a smile on my face. Leading this group has been one of the best and most rewarding experiences of my life. Please email me if you have ANY questions about the blog, or concerns. Anything at all really, I'd love to hear from you!

Your slightly ramble-y community group leader,
Kevin
