I ran across this book awhile ago: 7: An Experimental Mutiny Against Excess - probably in the SL forums. It sounded interesting enough, so I added on the To Read list. Eventually, I reserved a copy at the library & it arrived for pick up last week.
After reading the first 2 pages, I was overwhelmed. I can't read this book alone. I need others to surround me, to experience it, to discuss it & to hold me accountable.
In minutes, I jumped on FB, created an event, invited a around 70 friends to read it with me.
I didn't think first. I just knew. Now I wonder, what in the world have I just done?? Do I really feel like sharing my deepest, darkest . . . blech? No. But will it help me to be transformed into the image of Christ? Yes.
Today is the day I find out who will be at my side. Some friends are MILES away & we will have a FB group to discuss. Some friends are right in town or nearby & we will try to meet once a week.
Some friends even want to try the mutiny experiment themselves. I'm not sure I want to. Probably for selfish reasons.
I'm scared. Terrified. How am I supposed to lead?? (insert deep defeated sigh here.)
Thankfully, I have a God who loves me & accepts me & gives me room to make mistakes so that I can grow & change. So begins a new journey.
