Tuesday Night Experience

On a normal Tuesday evening, I come home from work, change clothes, and Leonard and I hop in the car to go to the Young Adults Life Team at my friend Judith's house in Garland. I don't get home until 6:15, so we stop at Taco Bueno before jumping on the highway since it starts at 7:00p.m. I was really excited when this life team first started. I was glad to get to spend more time getting to know the people close to my age on a more personal level. Now this group is my closest group of friends. I love hanging out with them, but as for the Bible study itself I'm not satisfied. Every week we have a more in depth discussion about the topic from Sunday's sermon. Well, the weeks that I hear the sermon, it's not so bad. However, Leonard and I both work in Kidventure every other week and don't hear the sermon. Another problem is that we often get distracted and chase rabbit tails. I feel that most of the time, I am the one who talks or leads our discussion off topic. I feel as though I am the distraction. I don't think I am the only one, but I know a lot of times it is me. I think I have just grown comfortable with our group and sometimes I just want to sit and talk. I have trouble focusing. I love my friends, but I am just not getting much out of going to the Bible Study. It just seems like a waste to rush home from work, eat dinner in the car, and drive all the way from Irving to Garland when I am not growing or being challenged. Well, like I mentioned in my post "My Spiritual Journey", God is really stiring up some things in me right now and I need to be in a place where I can focus on God, and where I get hear good teaching of God's word, and where I can grow! I'm hungry for more! One of the big decisions that I am in prayer over right now is about going back to school. I have seriously been looking into going to Christ for Nations. So this past Tuesday Leonard and I went to their service that is open to the public. It's called Tuesday Night Experience. It was amazing! The worship was Spirit-filled and very high energy, the prayer time was incredible, and the sermon was great too! Of all of the times I have heard the story David and Goliath (having grown up going to Sunday school every week that's a lot of times!) I have never been so moved by the story like I was on Tuesday. I left there feeling empowered! Leonard and I are still thinking about where to go on Tuesdays. I think we are leaning toward alternating between the life team and the Tuesday Night Experience at CFNI. We are still praying about it! We will see how things turn out.
