Starting work
Yesterday was my first day "officially" at the ministry office of Christ Vous Appel. I am going to work there part time, as a partner with their ministry, while also working on evangelism in France (on a more one-on-one level). I really like all the people that I will be working with, but it was a long day all in French, and that wears me out a bit.
Even more exciting than starting a new job was going to a small group Bible study last night. My church has several operating in my town and I found the one closest to me and was very warmly welcomed. Have you ever just felt like you were part of a group immediately? That's how I felt--that they all truly cared that I was there and wanted to make me feel a part of them. What a gift to a visitor! If ever I can in a position to welcome someone else to my circle, I hope that I can be as gracious as they were to me last night.
