Being Truthful

18 04 2008

Being in the SFC community for almost 5 years now, I’ve attended a lot of household meetings. In all of these meetings, I would have to say that the household I attended last Wednesday was one of the most honest and in effect one of the most unforgettable. There was nothing particularly outstanding about that night - we did not have a perfect attendance, the topic was just decent, no one cried their hearts out nor was there any newsworthy scene. What made it different was the collective revelation and open contemplation that the attendees shared. It hit close to home and we had to face the music. Even I had to face it. I didn’t think that we would come to a point that we would be talking about that. I didn’t think when we started 5 years ago that we would lead to that. I guess you can call it a test of Faith - faith in Him, faith in people, faith in yourself. As much as a huge part of me is a friend and a brother, I tried my best to be more of a leader, a role I try to follow for Him. Anyway, all those roles are a part of who I am so there shouldn’t be any conflict. I tried to keep it together because I have Hope - hope that this too shall pass, hope in the people that were entrusted on me, hope in the Lord. I will never give up on you because I know you’re stronger than this.

I will honor the confidentiality agreement in every household meeting so apologies for the vague representation.
