Body of Christ

Ever since I broke my arm, I've had to make some adjustments. It's been a week and with the help of some amazing people, I've become slightly good at opening jars, putting on clothes, even putting on headbands. I have yet to master being ambidextrious though and it is so frustrating.  If there is one thing I miss the most it's journaling. I'm a journal fanatic and have been for years. What I miss the most isn't driving or sleeping on my right side, it's pouring my heart out on paper. It's meditating on the verses I doodle or writing notes on sermons I watch. It's writing my prayers out on paper or the dreams I had the night before. I could do all of this on my IPhone (and I do), but what I appreciate more now is the authenticity and awareness that journaling brings. This past week I've wanted to journal about a couple of things, so I just decided to journal one of them on my blog and write about it later:))

 1 Corinthians 12:12-27
"In that way, the parts of the body will not take sides. All of them will take care of one another.  If one part suffers, every part suffers with it. If one part is honored, every part shares in its joy."

This season, I've learned a lot about the Body of Christ. I've grown closer to God and my community by seeing my friends shower Gods love and helping hand into my life. My friends have been so insanely supportive, helpful, and sacrificially good to me. I saw Christ in a different by being on the receiving end of their service. Canaan is the feet to me. She goes where she is called and does not waver. She would walk a thousand miles just to serve. Sarah Lamothe is the hand. She nursed me back to health by providing medicine and comforting me when I was crying. Shanna is the ears, she listens so intently when I want to express my feelings. Madison is the eyes. She sees the good in this season and gives me hope to prevail. Sydney Bentley are the legs. She encourages me to dance and worship God even in this bummer situation. Sydney Berry is the hand. She goes out of her way to express love by giving. Last but not least, Sarah Carpenter. This girl is the mind. She is full of so much truth and grace and showers me with it everyday. 
I have family that expresses Christ to me, as well as so many friends. I could list all of them, but that would take days. Thank you to those who have reached out, for showing me Gods love in a different way and for taking care of me in unity by blessing me with your part, in Christ, to love.
