Re: "Success"

man...it was such a long reply i decided to make it a post.. x]..

tHANNK you for this reminder Ally (from previous post), that we should not find our "success" in the number of people who showed up.

actually, i would have to say that, if we ever wanted to call it a "success", it had already started WAAY before the potluck. when the leaders of the christian clubs got together for the sake of trying to fellowship and come together under our awesome God-- i mean, that in itself is pretty amazing and is evidence to the unity that He brings!

i believe the point is not so much if it was a success or not. like you said Ally, "success" in Gods definition is definitely NOT the same as our own. we like to think quantitatively, so the more people = the more successful. i think i would have also been more discouraged. but that verse i think, "where two or more gather, i am with them also" (i forget the verse) is a good reminder that it's really not about the numbers, but about the heart.

but it was SUCH a blessing that so many people could be involved in this. i AM joyful about the numbers and so happy that God did His thing. hopefully the desire to see God work would alone continue to drive us to keep finding ways the christians of SF could unite together.

you guys can comment on either post xD..take care!
