SummerShine Leadership weekend was great! Not only was it informative, but we had a great time meeting new people & other leaders. We got a lot of insight from those who have done this before and it helped to boost our confidence in heading into this summer. A special thanks to Pete & Cheryl who took us into their home and made us feel welcome! As we met different people this past weekend my mind went to the scripture in Hebrews 10:25 that says, "Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching." We hear this preached in sermons to stress the importance of going to church. That is true! Also, God gives us direction to "not give up meeting together" so that we can build relationships! What is the importance of relationships? Why must we strive for them? I believe so that we can gain strength for our walk with Christ. The Bible says, "...a cord of three strands is not quickly broken" Ecclesiastes 4:12. We will certainly be building relationships this summer, but why wait? Why not start now? Every opportunity that we have to build positive, Godly relationships should be acted on! We must learn to take advantage of the opportunities given to us. The relationships we build today, could be adding strands to that cord...making it extremely difficult to be broken!
