The Importance Of A Church Family

Why you need these awesome supporters in your spiritual life

The Importance Of A Church Family
Medium

Oh, the importance of having a church family.

I believe that the Christians you keep in your circle contribute to your commitment to God. Of course, it is possible to have a relationship with God and not with anyone who does as well, but it is so very difficult to keep yourself on track.

Like I said above, a church family contributes to your commitment to God. That statement is very real. When you are falling in your walk with christ and you are feeling hopeless, these key people lift you and encourage you. Your faithful companions can help you when you are feeling doubt in your faith.

I have experienced this firsthand.

In the few bible studies I have taken part of, and our Wednesday night groups, I have created incredible bonds with people. Some, we have barely scratched the surface of friendship and I know certain people would risk their life for me. People have proven to have my back and support me through all my ups and downs. There are people that don't know God that can be this true and genuine but it is rare. It is the true and pure joy of knowing our Creator and Savior.

Not only is a church family genuine and supportive, we share the bond of having a deep relationship with our Heavenly Father. What precious connections and conversations you can have with a group of people that share in your true faith with you.

This is so vital and special and I highly encourage anyone who does not have a church family to connect with me.

Reach out to me.

I have open arms in likeness with our incredible Father.

A church family is so important.

Sorority

I remember my freshman year oh so well. I remember feeling terrified the night before orientation. The one thing that I dreaded the most was not the new people, the new environment, or even the academic pressure. I was dreading having to talk to sorority girls about Recruitment. I remember cutting off and avoiding any Rho Gamma/Panhellenic Officer that came my way during First Week. I looked at them like they had asked me to cut my arm off whenever they asked me if I wanted to rush. To be honest, I did not even know what rush was, but I knew that I did NOT want to be a part of it. To me, it was dumb. It was a waste of money. It was a waste of my time.

And guess what? I did not rush my freshman year. I spent the first half of my freshman year isolating myself from everyone on campus. I spent all of my time in the library, and then (since I was a commuter) went back home once my work was finished.

Tiana would no doubt be disappointed in the food our cafeteria has to offer.

And hopefully she would cook for everyone in her dorm.

She definitley would not take any 8:00 am classes because she would be up late baking and cleaning up the communal kitchen that are available in every dorm.
