The Importance Of A Church Family

Why you need these awesome supporters in your spiritual life

The Importance Of A Church Family

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.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
