Thanks to Sue Brown for the yummy Strawberry Shortcakes! We began with a question "What is a disciple?" Here are the comments:
-a convert who is observing what Jesus said, walking it out, working it out
-an apprentice, a follower, a life-long learner of Jesus
-one who has a passion for following, yearning to be like Him
-one who sees Jesus as lovely, beautiful, a treasure, and is excited to follow Him
Then we were challenged to make Jesus our #1 priority, to truly follow Him and not waste time pursuing other time-sucking activities instead of doing what is pleasing to Him. We prayed for God to move in our hearts and minds and help us to prioritize our lives properly. "Incline our hearts to your testimonies!" we prayed.
We finished by remembering and describing the ones who influenced us to become Christians or to be true disciples of Jesus. These are some people described:
-godly spouses
-godly older Christians who invited us into their homes and spoke the truth to us
-families who lived out the Christian life in a practical way in front of us
-godly friends who took time to invest in our lives
-Christian authors whose works have taught, explained, corrected us
