November felt like a warm hug. It looked like old friends meeting new friends, orange leaves, a road trip across the state, dog piles, seeing family, Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew, and seeing the Lord’s provision clearly.
This past month we did lots of neat things, like attending the Micha 6:8 retreat where John Richmond talked to us about justice.
“He has shown you, O man, what is good; And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God” (Micah 6:8).
Something he said that stood out to me was, “walking humbly is the prerequisite to seeking justice”. WOW, just let that stir in you a little. To me, that whole retreat was such a good reminder that we are created for God’s glory and to please Him in every way, and that we are all called to seek justice and mercy.
We did some introspective learning this month as we dug deeper into understanding our enneagram numbers, it has been cool to talk about this in our class where we aren’t afraid to ask each other tough questions and learn ways the Lord has wired us all in a unique way. For me, it has been most helpful learning about the other fellows and how they deal with and process emotions.
Shabbat dinner was hosted by the lovely Aaron Gann, who made all the food for us to eat and celebrate the sabbath. S/O Aaron! Shabbat Shalom!
Chris and Pauline Byron welcomed us into their home and we learned how to dive into Immanuel Time - which is just a fancy way of saying ‘Being’ with God. This was such a cool thing to experience and hear from the other fellows on how it impacted them.
Wow, I can’t believe I blinked and November was gone! Those are some new things we did and learned. Thanks for reading! Here are some pictures:
