Slow realisation

Have I told you the story about God calling me to join a local community group? It was so clear I was convinced it was so I could go and convert everyone there to Jesus followers and start a church there. It didn't turn out that way, so I went running off to find out how to convert everyone there. (Put embarrassed emoticon here.) Retelling this story, someone laughed, saying, "But they were converting you." And they were. I had to learn how to be a part of my local community, learn how people here tick. And He's done it. I can chat to anyone I meet as I busily do everything I can here in this community.

Unfortunately now it would seem, I can't remember how to talk to church people. This makes it kinda hard when I would consider myself to be at two new churches. I joined one at the start of the year, the other a few months back, but I still feel new. Probably I feel this way because I haven't connected with anyone there. Put me in a church building and I turn rather surly with people trying to get to know me. What's going on there, huh?

I trust God has a plan in all this somewhere. Like what I don't know.

P.S. Chips for tea tonight
