Passion City Church- The Grove

{ t h e   g r o v e} 

The Grove is an all woman's event at Passion City Church and it was amazing! There were so many women there. My first time going was on Monday, 13 April 2015. It was amazing because it was a great night to spend time with women who love Christ. 

Kristian Stanfill led worship that night and it was amazing as Shelly Giglio and a few leaders at Passion City Church talked about Proverbs as the church just got out of reading the entire book of Proverbs for a month. 

{The way we  l i v e  builds our character} 

the fear of the Lord is a desire to live in his standards and live in Harmony with him. 

{The way we  s p e a k  effects our words} 

we need to pay attention to the words that we speak as there is always learning as we don't know everything 

we can either take the words of what someone else says and let that unravel in our lives or we can look to our Heavanly Father to see what he says.

{The way that we  l o v e  effects our relationships} 

love doesn't keep a record of wrongs.

for me, of the most encouraging things was when someone told me that they love the way that I worship. Since coming to college, I kind of became self-concious of how I worship and I know that  I shouldn't be. But something came over me as I was worshipping at the Grove on Monday, that led me to nor care at what people think about when I worship. 

I started to dance and raise my hands as I did before entering college, but I held back as I noticed that not many people were doing so,. Something happened that night where I just could not stand still... let me just tell you worshipping is not what others around you are doing but what you are doing for God.  This encouaged me not to care about what other are doing, and just {worship our Lord and Savior}. 

if you are the one who told me that told me that they love the way that I worship, thank you. Thank you for reminding me thast I don't need to be self-concious about worshipping God and do what feels natural, even if nobody is doing it. Thannk you for everything. 

After the Grove wwas over, we were heading back to the car with Victoria as we were going to get food as it has been awhile since we last saw her was over a month ago.  It was pouring.  I had left my raincoat in Mary's car and all Mary had a small umbrelal that could fit two people. Well, this nice gentleman comes and runs up to me as I was not under the umbrella and walks with us all the way to her car. We later found out that he's from Douglasville and drove an hour to get to Passion City Churc h to serve us. The men serve the ladies who attend the Gorve and they aren't allowed in the main room but they clearly love God to do this just for us...

We ended up going to Chilli's for food after the Grove and we saw some lovely ladies who were t the Grove and we ended up inviting them to sit wih us and it was aamzing even though I just met them, we were talking about everything and anything with them. 

For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I among them.” - Matthew 18:20 (ESV)
