Daniel
Fast 2012: Day Thirteen
Dear
Family of God,
Over the past
8 months, we have become more spiritual than ever in our lives of 34
years. It's overwhelming, really. And, why is this?
For the first time, it has been revealed to us what it truly
means to be spiritual. God lead us to a small spiritual family
here in Laramie, WY. It is through this family that we have
learned what it means to connect with other believers. We are
from all different backgrounds, but have the commonality to: 1)
love God and give him glory, 2) love Jesus, and 3) be heaven bound.
That is, heaven on earth. That is what being spiritual
means: living in heaven right now on this earth! By doing
this, Shane and I have literally experienced God and have felt him
change our lives personally, as parents, in our friendships and have
learned what it means to be children of God.
I think the thing I love most about our small spiritual family is that
we are all real. We are not afraid to admit when we have messed
up. We all struggle. We can share these things with each
other because we want to learn how to better serve the Lord. The
only way to do that is by loving Christ in each other. I am
reminded by the verse from 1John 1: 5-7: "God is light; in him
there is no darkness at all. If we claim to have fellowship with
him, yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live by the truth.
But if we walk in the light as he is in the light, we have
fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his son, purifies
us from all sin." Our small spiritual family fellowships
together so we can learn how to be lights in Laramie.
Before we connected with this family, Shane and I were very dry in our
lives and kept saying to each other, "There has to be more to life
than this." And there is. Now our cups runneth over.
To God be the glory!
Shane, Letha, Tayler & Ty Buller
