Life & Liturgy

Gillian and I have been taking a class at church called Life and Liturgy. Father Rob teaches this class and it has been so so good for my heart. It is not easy for me to explain why I love liturgical worship and the Anglican Church. I just know my soul thrives there. I am slowly understanding why this is. It is such a joy to be surrounded by people who have the same heart as I do. People who understand and appreciate liturgy. I still may not be able to eloquently explain why I am drawn to worship God in this way, but I know I am not alone. I want to share more about the class but I need to journal and process more on to collect my thoughts and feelings.

I have been in a pretty dark place for a few months and my YL team leader Zack encouraged me to be active in my walk with Christ instead of giving in to apathy. One night, sitting in a Starbucks, Zack and I made a checklist of steps to take to be active in the wilderness God was leading me through. Two of the items on the list were to go to church and to ask someone to be my mentor. I knew both things would be absolutely life giving but I was stuck in a stalled pattern of apathy and self-centered hate. I have been attending Wellspring Anglican (with Gillian, thankfully!!) for about 2 months now. I officially asked someone to be my mentor and she said yes without hesitating. Life is looking up. God is sovereign.

There is so much more to say but I should probably get back to work.
