Church and such…

So I’ve been at Life Journey for about 8 months now, and I’m loving it. I never in a million years thought that I would find somewhere that remotely compared to Eden, but I feel like I’m there. For the past 3 years, I had struggled to find a church that I really enjoyed going to. I guess my attachments at Eden were just too hard to forget, and I wasn’t finding those kinds of attachments anywhere else. At Eden, I felt like I was a part of a family and I feel that I’ve developed that kind of bond with Life Journey. That was what drew me towards Life Journey: the people. I remember going on that first Sunday; I didn’t know anyone, but I felt like I was at home. I now know that I’m surrounded by a group of people who would do anything for me in a time of need, and I would do the same for them. I can honestly say that Wednesdays and Sundays are what I most look forward to because I get to be with that family.

On another note, we had an interesting discussion in our life group tonight. We’ve been reading Crazy Love and watching the DVD that goes along with it, and tonight we were on Chapter 9. At the end of each video are some questions and one of the questions tonight was, “What kind of legacy do you want to leave?” Everyone was sort of taken back by the question, because we honestly didn’t know how to respond. I was called on and didn’t answer, because I honestly didn’t have an answer.

Thinking about your legacy is a big deal. I mean when it boils down to it, what do you want to be remembered for after you’re dead and gone? I think we all want to be remembered as a person who always followed God, but beyond that, I think I want to be remembered as a person who just loved people. At my funeral, I hope that the pastor can say without a doubt in his mind that I was a person who loved and helped people. So that’s what I want my legacy to be… Justin Donnahoo loved people unconditionally.
