Perichoresis

dancing around; (peri- around; choresis- choreography) We are to “dance around” each other; to have our lives intersected; even as they are completely intersected with the Dancer of all Dancers. Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are in a constant, perfect dance with one another. Our dancing will undoubtedly be messy as we are trying to figure things out, but we must keep practicing, keep rehearsing, because the Great Ball is closer than we can comprehend.

These are the awesome people I get to work with at Second Pres. Humbled to share in God’s ministry alongside of them. Going to miss them so much.

“I believe expectant waiting can only happen when we exchange our feeble platitudes for an authentic faith that engages God with the full brunt of our emotion and pain.”


Romans 5:1-5 Therefore, since we are justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have obtained access to this grace in which we stand; and we boast in our hope of sharing the glory of God. And not only that, but we also boast in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not disappoint us, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit that has been given to us.

Came across this video tonight made by those on Staff and volunteering with Young Life in the area I went to high school. I started sobbing about halfway through. Sobbing with joy. Sobbing with amazement. Sobbing with utter thankfulness for the gift of salvation. Overwhelmed tonight by the reminder of how glorious it is to be a part of God’s family. Alive in the glory of love.

“O God, who by your One and Only Son has overcome death and opened to us the gate of everlasting life; grant, we pray, that those who have been redeemed by His passion may rejoice in His resurrection, through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.”
