Be careful what you pray for :)

[Nathanial] Time for a bit of reflection. I begin by thanking all of the members that have been praying Ekklesiah through its latest transition. Personally, I have felt a tiny bit of discomfort around the house the past few weeks. Discomfort is something we prayed for. We have previously prayed against becoming complacent and satisfied within the walls of this condo. So maybe this slight discomfort and uneasiness is a positive thing. Be careful what you pray for........ ;)
I realize that part of this discomfort stems from the decisions I make for my own life. Life has become much more busy with the school year in full swing and other opportunities for social or service events. I find myself searching for discernment with activities and concluding that I need to say “No” to more things. What I find humor in is how quickly I begin to feel disconnected from Ekklesiah. After only a couple of nights of long school days followed by evening commitments, I long to spend quality time with the immediate community of my brothers. I guess this shows how important the relationships I have with my brothers here at Ekklesiah truly are. It also reiterates how much of a blessing [and sanctuary] this building/living space is. One also becomes very conscience of any tensions that arise in the community and this makes immediate reconciliation vital. Another positive thing about these stretches of emotion is that it makes things like our Thursday night house meals that much more valuable.
I am thankful that prayer knows no boundaries and that one can constantly be in prayer while his brothers go about their busy schedules too. Ekklesiah finds itself on the threshold of something else that may create another marvelous journey for the ministry of our home. For now, keep praying for God’s fulfillment and radiance in this place. We will disclose more details when we officially dive into this new adventure. Paz.
