Better Together

40 Days of Community finally comes to an end. One word - disappointed.

The word "together" appears million times throughout the book and it was this one word that bring me hope to the 40 Days of Community. I hope I can learn and practice to grow spiritually together, I hope we can actually do something together to better support each other, I hope ... In reality, what else did we do together in the past couple weeks other than sharing/talking every Friday (and that's already the thing we done previously). Maybe we do not know each other enough to point out others' strengths and weaknesses and give advices to their serving path in church, or maybe there're obstacles for us to love everyone, or maybe we care so much about people's impressions/thoughts on us that we can't truly express our real self, or maybe we personally don't have a good worship life that we can't encourage/motivate others to get closer to God...

Things get to be changed and only actions can bring changes.

I've been growing so independently throughout my Christian life and it now comes to an stagnation. No matter how desparatly I crave for a breakthrough, no matter how many different ways I try to have a more intimate relationship with God, it just simply fails. I need to learn to be interdependent. Trust me, nothing can be better without growing "together".
