6 days until the opening

It has been an amazing week overall. Sy Rogers spoke to us on Thursday and Friday. He shared a lot of how God has brought him through the sin in his past and some of the process of dealing with those really ingrained sins, which for him involved a lot of sexual sin. It was really good stuff to hear, I feel like he had a really good sense of balance between the fact that we are a new creation in Christ and yet the physical consequences of our sin (including our inclination to continue it) are not usually just wiped away.

Most of our other time has been focused on our collaborative projects and getting ready for the exhibition next week (all of our work is due on Monday and Friday is a lost day) so things are a little tight right now.

In truth I probably wouldn't have updated if it wasn't for the fact that I just wanted to share the praise of how good and perfect God's organization is. As any regular reader may have noticed I have definitely felt ups and downs here - but I have to say the good is so good. I have just been really struck by how perfect God's organization of our discipleship groups are. Last night as our larger group was talking through things one of the girls was expressing some of the same things I have been feeling all year and in listening to her I finally felt a sense of clarity in how to interact with it. And it was just really good. (I am not sure if this makes sense - please to forgive if it doesn't)

Ways to Pray:

Our art - with the deadline on Monday, these last couple of days will be hard core.

Growth in unity.

That we may all make opportunities for one-on-one time with God - for those of us who focus poorly in noisy environments it is a hard thing to do.

The show - that we can have good conversations with the people that come and that people we have talked with will be able to come (specifically Abby, Josh, and Jamey)
