The church is a community that extends beyond borders, languages, cultures, and time. I have had the blessing of getting to know members of the community of believers across the U.S. and from many countries across the world. Whether African or Chinese, Hispanic or Indian, Kazak or Russian, Canadian or Southern, the community in Christ is one.
One thing we all have in common is the desire for relationship - for a deeper sense of community. We long for community with our Creator and with His creation - other people with whom we can relate and share our lives.
Grandmas and college students alike want to know what it truly means to be in relationship with God and one another - what it means to be community, family, and the church to each other.
For Food & Family on Fridays, I encourage you to to find a community, members of a church family with whom you can be authentic, encouraged and accountable.
It is my prayer and one of the goals of Iron Rose Sister Ministries, that we might be that community to each other - a church family that spans at least two languages and two continents. I pray that we may be iron sharpening iron to one another and that we might encourage and inspire each other to be as beautiful as a rose in spite of a few thorns - all in the context of community.

For Throwback Thursday, I invite you to share what communities you have been a part of and how they have been a blessing to you.
One of the goals of Iron Rose Sister Ministries is to provide a means by which women can network and encourage each other, deepening our relationships with God and one another.
The community I will share about today is a group of four women (two are pictured here) that have each been a part of a small group Bible study with me at one time or another in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. We are now in three different cities, but a group text keeps us updated on prayer requests, encouraging verses or quotes, and other life happenings.
Community - even if we can't see each other's faces as often as we would like. The bond is there - in Christ and in time spent together in prayer, study, and fellowship. I can depend on those ladies as they know that they can depend on me.
Now it's your turn. What communities have you been a part of and how have they been a blessing to you?
