Home Group + Perceptions

Tuesday night was home group, and I was surprised at how good it was. I’ve been feeling like not going lately, cause I it’s like no one is really interested, and there are no good discussions (hopefully that doesn’t come back to bite me…). I have no idea if anyone else felt/feels the same way. Luke and I have been going to another home group on Monday nights as well which has been really encouraging/thought provoking/interesting and I guess that hasn’t helped the whole Tuesday night situation…

Anyway, back to this last Tuesday and how it was good. I shared something I’d read in Numbers, and people actually DISCUSSED it! I don’t think this has ever happened to me at home group! My conversation starters are usually dead ends!!

We also went round in a circle and shared things that we admired/liked/generally positive things about each other. I was surprised at how awkward this made me feel. Luke suggested it, and I was poking him in the side saying, “No, no, lets not do that”. I’m not sure if it was the saying nice things about people, or the having people say nice things about me bit that was the worst.

Anyway, it was really, really interesting to see how people saw me. I’m not going to share what people said here- I’m not conceited, but I will share with you that some were a surprise, and others were things that I really value. It’s interesting that Pete mentioned a characteristic about me which I didn’t particularly consider myself having, but REALLY strongly value in other people. As in, it is one of my pet hates when people don’t have this, and I really admire people who do have this. I assume now that that’s one of the reasons that I value it so highly.

It’s just funny how things go together… lots of healing on the inside (of the heart kind), and new understanding of myself, which is always good.
