LC MISSION STATEMENT
God wants my life to be a life of connecting (knitting) with others, and never giving up on what God wants for my life.
You might ask yourself okay why a scarf? Am I only EXCITED with Gods mission for my life when its comfortable for me or it seems to come easy, and everything is going good in life. We as Christians should be on a daily mission for Gods plan for us, whatever that might be. First, we must pray and seek God and find out what our mission in life is and than we must act on it and not just be pumped up about it. Than when time comes to do it, stick our big toe in the pool, and than back up because its not comfortable for us or it doesnt seem to be, for we will never know unless we dive in and do what God tells us to do. He tells us in colossians 2:2 I want them to be encouraged and knit together by strong ties of love. What God is saying here is that he wants our lives to be knitted together with other believers so that we will grow stronger in him and we can learn things we never have learned before from others. I have experience in my life over the past 5 months that my life is completely different now that I am knitted together with others that love the Lord, and seek him daily. It is great encouragement when you have a group that encourages you in a Godly aspect. When we first start out knitting together with others, we are not yet completed and it takes alot of time, just like a scarf does. We can easily get unraveled like a scarf as well, but through your group of support and Gods word, we can easily get back on track and draw nearer and nearer to God as we continue to bond with him with others. By growing together and become knitted together , our lives are changed by this, and I have experience just this. A person standing alone can be attacked and defeated, but two can stand back to back and conquer. Three are even better, for a triple braided cord is not easily broken. Ecclesiastes 4:12. Sometimes as Christians we think we can do everything on our own and we like to be independent but God reveals through his word that he desires us to be together and grow as a group in Him rather than being alone. I would encourage you to find a bible group or just a group of Godly friends that will encourage you and will be true friends that care, love, and pray for you daily, because their heart are sold out for Christ. So the next time you see someone struggling or in need of a friend, why dont you dive in the deep in for them and be a true friend to them, so they might grow even closer to God than they already are. You never know what people are going through, so maybe just a email or a short phone call might make that persons day. =] and maybe the next time your down or in need of a friend, that same person or someone will do the same in return. I love how God works, and God reveals himself in mysterious ways that I never knew he could! So, lets not just go on mission trips every summer, but lets be on that mission everyday, Seeking God, Knitting with Others and most importantly NEVER GIVING UP! =]
