Dependency

"Dependency means living...as if I really do believe that my walk with God is a community project."

~P.D. Tripp, "Lead"

I love watching God build community, especially in places I never would have considered. People with whom I can confess sin and share joys. People who can drop by without calling first. My favorite farmer has become such a friend. She always knows when to share an encouraging verse from scripture or when I need some extra peppers dropped into my weekly order.

When we recently had the opportunity to help her family by gathering some eggs, feeding and watering the poultry, and collecting veggies from the garden, Katherine and I jumped at the chance!

I'm so grateful for friends who aren't afraid to live in community, who trust that dependency on each other and on the Lord is a very good thing. Who live each day stewarding and sharing the good gifts of time, energy, produce, eggs, finances, knowledge, and experience that come from above.

Our walk with God truly is a community project. What a beautiful thing.
