little nuggets...

Orientation was AMAZING. To be honest I was having a hard time with wanting to go because of the amount of transition I was in the midst of. But man...every session, every day was convicting, refreshing, raw, and exactly what my heart needed. I took away some little golden nuggets of truth that are reminders as I start this new year.

Some nuggets:

• If you can't pay 100% attention to someone. Don't fake it. 
• Remember, Jesus washed Judas' feet
• We are a living example of Christ NOT a perfect one
• Keep conflict current. Don't tuck it away for later. Don't let it fester.
• Live. Learn. Labor (Urban Cohort motto) -do it in that order
• Don't make Jesus a product
• Share your life yes, but share Jesus too. 
• Jesus is more concerned about you and Him than you in the neighborhood
• You're going in as neighbors, not as professionals
• Become the fabric of the community

SIDE THOUGHT:

Good questions to ask yourself regularly:

• Am I anchoring myself in Christ?
• What are the things (wounds, fears) that cause me to become unanchored?
• Am I being authentic? Am I letting people in or only showing specific parts of me?
