Rebuked

Kind of anyway.  I love how PPC is honest with me.  I love my brothers and sisters but sometimes they just tell me what I want to hear.  They want to make me happy, and I appreciate it, but I trust my spiritual family to keep me accountable and it's better to hear what I need to hear, not just what I want to hear.

Today PPC was telling me about how my priorities are in question by leadership.  I guess I'm under closer watch now and its kind of scary but exciting too.  Its good.  Anyway PPC was talking about how many things in CCM have no spiritual value and I agree to an extent.

Honestly, I am not looking forward to spam cookoff.  Why do we do it?  It takes away from time that I don't really have to give to something like spam cookoff.  It was suggested that even banquets and appreciation nights are just times for people to show off and be nastolgic.  Perhaps someone even mocked that we say CCM is not a church.

These things probably have some truth to them and I usually take everything PPC tells me into deep consideration.  But as I'm about to leave CCM can I say that.....

God used CCM to reveal His gospel to me

God used CCM to introduce me to Berean

God used CCM to introduce me to my now closest brothers and sisters

God used CCM to prune me

(okay you get the point with the repetitiveness but continuing) I've been encouraged

discouraged

challenged

taught

blessed with the opportunity to serve

blessed with roommates

blessed with fellowship sometimes

and honestly thats just the tip of the iceberg.  Of course CCM is not perfect by any standard.  I think in some cases its a bad thing.  But for me, I have been saved through CCM and have been so blessed by so many things and by so many people.  And God presented me with the opportunity to give back and to serve in that capacity.  I just hope that someone will come to Christ or grow in their relationship like I did, through CCM.  If thats the kind of fruit CCM can potentially produce, then really do think it's worth it.

Granted, PPC is definitely right in that CCM can't take such a priority that it hinders my own growth.

Ya thats all

I got a new email signature for work.  I feel so professional.  I have business cards now too! cool.
