Family

"Remember the Lord, who is great and glorious, and fight for your brothers, your sons, your daughters, your wives, and your homes!” - Nehemiah 4:14b

Family is messy and joyous. Family is who we can be ourselves around. Family takes time, effort and patience to make it work. We don't choose who gets to join our family. We're born into it. We don't give up on family.


Church is family - a spiritual family. Up until recently, I saw church as just an inhuman institution. I was grateful for the programs, classes, missions trips, serving opportunities, teachings, and responsibilities. But it wasn't until I was at a point where I was so frustrated, about to tear what little hair I have out, losing sleep, laughing, crying, overjoyed and going through a whole mess of things that I realized that church is family. Only one kind of people makes me feel all those things - family.

I really started seeing church as it really is - Christ followers. Messed up people who are living by the grace of God, following after Jesus Christ.

I am so grateful for this family. I am so grateful for this church.
