So, who are we, everybody?

Saturday morning update: OH MY WORD, YOU GUYS! THIS TURNED OUT TO BE ONE OF MY FAVORITE THINGS EVER ON THIS BLOG! SO MUCH FUN! You guys are incredibly interesting. I am knocked out right now with a sense of awe that God would allow me to interact with you. I have tons of respect for you guys. Keep doing the thing and keep resisting the cookie cutter despite the (Christian??) social pressure. You are much more interesting this way. Just hold close to Jesus and don’t let being different become it’s own pretense or attention-getter. Keep that gorgeous authenticity that makes this community my favorite cyber spot on earth. Good grief, I am so thankful for y’all.

 

Hey, everybody! It’s been a long time since we’ve done a survey to see who God has brought together to form this sisterhood. It’s a blast not only to behold our common bonds in Christ but to revel in our diversity as a community of very different people committed to one glorious Savior. We’d be bored stiff if we only opened our hearts and lives to those who are just like us. If we have to line up exactly on about 100 points of doctrine, we are liable to get pretty lonely. We don’t even necessarily have to work out a difference to our mutual satisfaction to treat one another with mutual esteem and to honestly love one another. Always preferring someone remarkably similar across the table from us still smells a lot like Narcissus. We may even be fooling ourselves but, at the end of the day, it’s just another form of mirror gazing. Gross.

When I get to see a group of you out there after a Living Proof Live, I always wish I could freeze the moment and stare at each of you one by one. It is the most incredibly refreshing sight. You cannot fathom how different we look in person, all banded together in a holy huddle. It makes me so dang happy. It is clear in that context that we were drawn together by something so far removed from packaging. You and I know that is Jesus. Oh, how I pray that God smiles when He drops in on this community, holds time tightly in His hand, and stares at each of us one by one.

“These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full. This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.” John 15:11-12

OK! What do you say we do a survey? Complete each of the following as succinctly as possible. Lindsee and I will LOVE bringing these in. Let’s do this today for the pure Jesus-joy of celebrating community!

1. Your name and where you live.

2. Your age or general age grouping (grin)

3. When did you accept Jesus as your personal Savior and, in briefest possible terms, what was the setting?

4. What line of work are you in? Or, if you’re in school, tell us where and what line of work you’re steering toward. (Do not hesitate to tell us you’re a stay-at-home-mom. No harder work exists nor longer hours.)

5. What is your #1 hobby?

6. Are you currently invested in a local body of believers? If so, which one?

7. Do you have pets? If so, you surely know we’ve got to know what kind.

8. Your biggest recent disappointment – slash – your biggest recent elation.

9. Describe your idea of the perfect Saturday.

10 Complete this sentence: Only people who really know me realize that I am ___________________________________________________________________.

    9. Waking up around 7, cup of coffee at the kitchen table and some quiet time in the Word by myself in silence, breakfast with the little family, a little garage/consignment sale shopping, cooking a big pot of chili all day, play time with the kiddo, nap time with the kiddo, friends or family over for the chili in the evening and maybe some cards or board games. I’m a home body really!

    10 Completely shy. I am an extrovert and thrive on people, but it is REALLY hard for me to walk up to someone I don’t know and strike up a conversation or to be at a party where I don’t know anyone. To the outside eye, that does not seem like my personality at all – but I really don’t do well with being the “new girl”. 🙂

    Jan says:

    Jan from Katy. 55 year old white female. Baptized at church camp in Oklahoma in the river 1975. BS degree in Medical Technology and worked as a Microbiologist for 13 years and now stay at home mom. My favorite hobbies are reading and traveling. I attend Cinco Ranch Church of Christ. I have 4 cats-1 grey tabby and 3 Birmans (imagine a long haired Siamese with 4 little white paws and fur soft as silk).

    Latest surprise: my husband taking me with him to Milan on Business or my 30 y.o. son finally deciding he needed a college degree and starting back. (This one the jury is still out because he has a long way to go to finish. Could just as easily fall into the lastest dissappointment category).

    Latest Heartbreak: My daughter’s unresolved depression and her statement that the only reason she hasn’t committed suicide is because she saw how much it hurt all of us when her aunt committed suicide back on Valentine’s Day.

    Saturday:A crisp clear nearly cold day watching one of my favorite teams play football and then going to eat Mexican food. (Because of the “cold” part I rarely get to live out my fantasy here in Houston.)

    What few people know: I live in a world-full of physical pain, emotional pain, and guilt. I’m not the happy-go-lucky girl I portray. I tend to just take in the criticism and let it turn into condemnation.
