What to expect!

As you follow this Blog and plug into "The Upside Down Group" here is one thing you can look forward to.

The Upside Down Group is about encouraging others to become encouragers in their community. One of the tools we use to accomplish this is through our weekly Encouragement assignments. On Sunday of every week we will hand out a new assignment. These assignments are designed to be simple to accomplish yet at times can be extremely challenging to do. This is because while the work is easy the assignment will occasionally push you outside your comfort zone. Let me encourage you to stick with it, push your comfort zone and accomplish the task. As you do you will find you have strength where you thought you were week. As you follow the process you will find some assignments are very easy for you while others incredibly challenging. You will learn more about yourself. Best of all you will have fun (The more challenging the task the more joy you will receive) Then one day not too far away you will be walking down the street, in line at a store, or eating at a restaurant when you notice someone and the thought will come to mind to do something for them. No assignment, no nudge from someone else YOU will choose to bless that person and wonder "Did I just do that" Congratulations! You have begun to renew your mind (Romans 12:2). You have moved a step closer to living how God intended in the first place (A selfless life). Obviously this alone wont help in the transformation but it will be the guiding of the Holy Spirit as you step into the process.

May God be with you and may we all learn to listen to his guidance.
