Recipe for unity: 1 batch of green chile enchiladas, stretched to make 3 pans instead of 2, 1 pot of refried beans, 1 pitcher Louisiana style sweet tea and 17 people who love each other very much.
I was so encouraged by our dinner last night. 12 girls showed up compared to our 5 guys, which means that we need to start praying for more men. But the thing that encouraged me more than anything was this feeling of family. I believe that God blessed last night and that our team really coalesced into something more than a random conglomeration of individuals. It was exciting!
We made 1 batch of Russ's mom's enciladas, which should have made 2 pans, but we had enough stuff left over to make a third. I had to be conservative on the sauce, and use about half as much on it, but it still tasted just like the other two. I think God may have done a "5 loaves and 2 fish" type thing with dinner, if you catch my meaning, since more and more people kept walking through the door. We were expecting around 10 to be optomistic, but we wound up with 17! Praise up for both food and people!
I am excited to see people that I haven't seen around for a while. I'm excited to see hearts for God grow, as well as hearts for fellowship and for unity. I am excited that last night felt like the kick off that we really needed and that we really lived out the title of "team fun"!
I definitely missed out. :( I'm trying the whole going to a small group at the church I am attending on Sundays thing. I liked the group...but I miss everyone at team. hmmm. I'll see you all on Thursday though.
