Jo4 Getaway 2012 - Deeper Passion

I had an awesome time at my life group's Getaway this weekend.
Once again we returned to the beach house at Castaway Cove, exactly the same one as the one we went last year.

God's been really good to Joseph 4. Brings back lots of memories! And of course, we wrote more memories after this trip there.

Here's a funny picture I stole off from Eddie's facebook.



Our theme for this year's getaway was "Deeper Passion".

It's actually pretty cool how everyone have grown since our last trip. We have more people this year, and more people stepping up into faith filled roles. I love this group.

As the organiser of the trip for a second time, I've learn to be a better leader. I've learnt to trust my team and let them run wild with their imaginations and ideas. But I'm not perfect yet, at times stepping on the toes of my team members, and stressing them out a little bit.
I'm still learning... so I'm sorry guys if I got a bit cranky whilst at it. (Although I'm pretty sure they probably won't see this.)

Character building... security in God, and a heart to love and serve God wholeheartedly.
Faith stretching tasks...
Love building relationships...
Refining through iron sharpening iron.

We will grow as a group.

Thank you Lord, for all You've done in the lives of every individual in Joseph 4 over the weekend. May God continue to grow and nurture the seeds planted this weekend, and cause us to bear fruit as individuals and as a life group.

Now, I'm empowered spiritually, drained physically. About to hit off and get some beauty refreshing sleep.
I can't wait for work tomorrow. Honest!:)

Leaving the surface... and drawing more strength from His Holy Spirit.
