A good friend of mine from high school sent me an invite via myspace to check out her church. And I've never been the same again. I went to the opening service and really enjoyed it. But due to some personal issues at the time, I didn't go back for a while. Not because I didn't love it, just wasn't ready to accept I needed Jesus in my life again. (cocky I know....but once was blind...)
So back in October of `o8, I started going again to R2 (short for Renassiance Road). And I've not left since. I love this place. I know beyond any shadow of doubt that I am exactly where God wants me to be. This is my home. They are real people. With real issues. And most importantly a REAL love for Jesus and his people.
I've been to other churches. And played the roles. But I've never been completely sold out to a vision like I have with R2. What's that saying been there, done that and bought the t-shirt. And actually I've bought 3 t-shirts. I've joined every possible team, event, and small group I can. I simply can't get enough of these people...my family.
It's still growing. And I'm doing my best to help it. I believe in this church. I believe in its passion. I believe in its vision. I believe in the Pastor. I believe in the members. And I believe its going to rock the cities around it. What's more....they believe in me. They believe in you. And more importantly they believe in a sovereign God who loves us.

ReplyDeleteImagine the possibilities that will exist as this blog grows. And the purposes that this blog can be used for. There's nothing like reading how Jesus changes people's lives. I never get tired of it, nor should we ever tire of seeing Him do it.
Keep being real...
