Community, what is community?…this is a good question. A question i have yet to find a deffinat answer for. But from what I’ve learned from being here and living with 10 other people in my house for the past 5 months, I would say community is living together, completley sharing life together,the good, the bad, the ugly. And let me just just say we have all shown these sides.
Community is letting your pride fall, and your humility rise. It’s learning to love when you don’t always like, and to hold your toung when you want to be “straight up”. It’s taking your eyes off of you and placing them on people that make you angry, frustrated, and laugh till you hurt.
It’s letting God hold up a mirror to you (which are these people) and let you see how you really are, and then allowing Him to use those in your community to help break you, and allow Him to rebuild you as you are ment to be.
Community is uncomfortable at times, and the reality is that in community you will learn that those you live with will fail you, and you will fail them. But together you are building eachother stronger for a greater purposes.
You are learning to be a servant.
