“Ya know John…something Ive been thinking about is I wonder how Jesus would have described his life… I dont think he would have said, “Gosh, I am so BUSY! I’m stretched thin…pulled in a million directions…I just dont have time to do the things I really want” I just notice those phrases from myself and a lot of people…recently Im not so impressed. Its got me to thinking that if Jesus is whom we are to be modeling our lives after…why is busy, overwhelmed, stressed, stretched, consumed, wiped out, is how most define their lives? Was it “come to me and I will give you busy?” just a thought…”

“I watched John White’s video tonight and got convicted about not keeping my committment to check in daily. I say I’m busy, but really it’s about priorities. If I’m going to meet with my CO2 partner every day and if I’m going to check in every day and if I’m going to finishe the assignments every week and check out what others are saying on the discussion board, then I’m going to have to lay aside some other things that I used to do with my time. It’s not easy, but I’m willing to do it because this is important and life changing. So thanks, John, for giving us a little pep talk in the middle of the apprenticeship to re-focus and re-commit.”

“I’m checking in tonight as angry and scared…scared of the risk and responsibility that comes with transparency and committment, and angry because I’m scared. I’m mostly checking in to check in and begin to establish a rhythm of trust in God rather than fear of the enemy. Perception without practice can be an empty, lonely place. I accept and agree with John’s exhortation.”

“John asked us to ‘weigh it’…and this is what I think I heard…”weighty”…”his message is true” I can agree with his heart…wholeheartedly…this is my second go around and I did not engage a whole lot. On this go round Ive made more time and Im finding it to be life giving.”

“The video caused to me to reflect on the honest truth that I am both sad and excited. Sad because I’ve truly wanted to be engaged with everyone, to have unity in heart, but it has been a challenge to get out of the rut of daily routine. Also sad because there is some kind of fear that holds me back from even more. Yet I am excited and optimistic because I can foresee the potential, especially as I tend to be spurred-on by interactions with others. And I can foresee the love in everyone’s heart for each other. Hearing that it is permissible to not have heard anything from the Lord on a particular video, I think is freeing to me because sometimes I don’t really hear anything so I don’t post. That will help me bunches I think.”

I watched John White’s video on those of us who have not been participating as much, and I felt like he was talking directly to me. It is hard for me to get on Facebook everyday…I go a week or so without even checking my email sometimes. I realized that I have made a commitment to this group, and I am redeticating myself to stick with the group and try my best to participate in the check-in and assignments.
