Well hey there... it has been so long since I have posted anything. Sorry about that.... things have been crazy. What have we been up to? We have just continued to invest and be invested in at Mosaic and have been learning so much.
For the past year I have been involved in a Community Group (small group) at Mosaic lead by a friend of mine. The experience enriched my life in so many ways. I found great friendship and community with a group of women who started out meeting in a cafe, until we grew so large we needed a bigger space. Growth of a Community Group is so exciting because it is a sure sign that the group is HEALTHY!! When our group ended for the summer I knew it was time for me to start another womens Community Group for ladies at the Mayan. I partnered up with an amazing co leader Kelsea, and I swear it was meant to be. Perfect. Match.
Our group met over the summer and quickly bonded with shared experiences, interests, fears, passions, a longing for community, and a heart for the Creator of the universe. Our first official group for this fall session was this past Wednesday! I am so amazed at how willing women are to share and really be authentic with one another when given the space. The ladies in this group are already bringing so much joy to my world. The hope for the group is that we are a safe place for women to risk, fail, succeed, cry, laugh, grow, and lean into a conversation with God that can change our lives. I am just so excited to see what the next 10 weeks will hold.
Over a year ago when we moved to LA, I just wanted to survive. Keep my head above water and hopefully grow in the process. Man how things changed. Quickly I was hooked to this movement in the city of Los Angeles. A movement grounded in faith, love, and hope seeking to create good. I am forever changed by this community and am so excited about taking my next step by leading a Community Group.
Much Love from CA,
Jess
