wherever you go, there you are.
i have had it in my heart to get involved at church, for a while now. i went through spurts of volunteering on saturday nights, helping out with the kids at Studio K at Rock Harbor, and as much as i loved that, i honestly felt that i needed to better understand my own faith and my own beliefs, before i could impart wisdom on the kiddies. not only that, but when a 7 year old came up with something deeper than anything i had ever considered, i knew there were things i needed to work on. it has been a slow process, but alas i found the answer i had prayed for by joining a Life Group through Rock Harbor church. it is a group of people, from all over Orange County, who come together with one thing in common: the desire to fufill your best life possible, to become the best version of yourself. The purpose is to have somewhere to go to share your faith and your life with others, and to have support in your life. i must admit it was intimidating at first, to walk into a room of probably 200+ people, and not recognize a single face. i did the awkward "pretend i had something to look at on my phone" thing, but i was busted within 5 minutes by a friendly face who wanted to know who i was. and this continued for the remainder of the night. my group consists of about 13 people from the Orange area, including Santa Ana and Long Beach. none of them are people I would ever pick out of a group and say i want to be friends with them but i think that is kind of the point. you don't grow if you always stick to what you know. this past week we focused on the quote "wherever you go, there you are", and the concept that you can't hide from your past and things you've done just by physically moving yourself to a new place. who you are will always catch up to you. you have to seek forgiveness in order to free yourself, and that there is nothing you could do to make God love you less. i am so happy to have found what i've been looking for in my life group. He answered the prayers from the deepest depths of my heart by providing a way for me to truly become to best version of myself; the person He always knew i could be and I can't wait to continue on my journey.
