Sometime last year I
put up a community event creation ad on craigslist. I was thinking
of creating a group of folks who love God and would like to get
together and discuss how we can help each other towards our goals.
A lady replied and
asked me about the group. We went back and forth with emails. We
decided on possibly meeting up to talk things over. Below is the
email that I sent her to describe the group I want to create. Let me
know if this group should live?
...........................................................................................................................
Thank
you, Michele, for getting back.
I
can tell you are looking for a way to do something for our Lord
Jesus. I welcome you to what's possible.
I
am also a branch from the same tree---King James Version of the Great
Book.
Why
I am starting this group:
We
are not of the world, but in the world, and while we are here, we
must make our contribution. Jesus once talked about the Kingdom of
Heaven as a parable of talents ( Matthew 25: 14-30 KJV).
Each
of us is given a unique set of talents to use on the earth, and we
must trade it with the world to increase it, and have a lot more to
give back to our Lord, the giver of talents and opportunities. I want
to help my brothers and sisters make the most of their talents and
opportunities for our Father's glory.
We
need each other, and it's only in uniting can we make great things
happen. That's why I am starting this group.
What
we will be focusing on:
Also,
to make the most of our talents and the righteous opportunities
before us, we must prepare ourselves. If we are to use a knife, we
must sharpen it; if we are to use our spirit, we must strengthen it;
if we are to serve people, we must understand them. All these take
time, practice, and support. This group is simply to develop our
skills to for all that we want to do---and I think the ad on
craigslist says that. I am approaching this with the understanding
that 1+1 =3, or more with God.
Wanna
meet?
There
are a few other skills we will like to work on, and find ways to get
things done---God's way, of course. Even for folks who don't have a
car nor money, there's still a way to “do something.” I will like
to go over some of these in a meeting with you sometime this week. I
am available tomorrow and Friday evening---from 6pm to 8pm. Let me
know if these times work for you, or if you would prefer another.
And
speaking of meeting, I looked at your address and the bus system, and
there's a 1 bus that stops on Metric and Kramer,
and will take you to Metric and Sunhillow, where you can catch
the 240 bus to Parmer and Tomanet. The 240 bus will
stop on the last stop on the route. The Starbucks ( 2505 W Parmer
Lane, Austin) will be on your right after you get off the bus. If
it helps, after you take the 1 bus, let the bus driver know
you will like to catch the 240 bus at Sunhillow and Metric.
Again
feel free to decide---and be led of the Holy Spirit. I know He will
never lead you astray.
Be
well.
Kingston.
