I took cookies to my new neighbor a couple weeks ago. Such a small easy thing... why did it take me so long? I'm glad to know his name and I pray that see him again sometime! I met him almost two weeks ago but I haven't seen him again.
My next step - starting a book club for the women in my apartment complex. My friend Emily started a book club in her neighborhood and said it's been great for meeting people, so I decided to give it a shot. I asked the apartment manager to put a note about it in our December newsletter, she said sure, and I've already had a few phone calls about it.
I'm thankful to my faithful God who wouldn't allow me to sit in my own little bubble any longer, but I confess that fear and anxiety still find a home in my heart. I'm afraid that I will build relationships with these people and never share the gospel with them. I'm afraid that I won't build authentic relationships because I might see these women as projects. I'm afraid of rejection. What if no one comes? God save me from these fears!
To be continued, God willing...
