So with everything going on...I was quickly reminded of everything learned from the Catalyst Conference in October. Tension is good, that was the whole theme. I went back and read through a lot of the things I brought back from Catalyst and all of the notes I took during the conference.
"Tension within a team pushes them to better perspectives and deeper relationships, Tension is absolutely required if you want to have an authentic faith. It is critical if you hope to engage in God's story of restoration and redemption. Tension compels us to respond to a higher calling. Tension helps us face our doubts. Tension challenges who we think we are. Tension prepares us to live our lives with a deeper message as a part of a bigger story. Tension in a family provides an opportunity to demonstrate commitment and unconditional love. Tension is good."
Embrace it.
Verse of the day...
"Oh, the joys of those who do not follow the advice of the wicked, or stand around with sinners, or join in with mockers. But they delight in the law of the Lord, meditating on it day and night."
Psalm 1:1-2
Our friends and even some family members, can have a huge influence on what we do and the things we choose. Think about it, true friends should help you draw closer to God, not hinder your relationship with Him.
