Doing Good Is Contagious.

That's the motto at Jubilee Project. And you should check out their Youtube channel if you haven't heard of them! That being said, my two weeks at the JP Fellowship has come to an end. And God has taught me so much in these two weeks.

Community Can Be Built In 2 Weeks
If you don't believe me, then go to the Fellowship. I know it sounds ridiculous, but it happened. It was amazing to witness how 14 people living under one roof can grow together. It was through our vulnerability, encouragement, and service that made this possible.

My team leader, Eugene, put it this way. We all put on face when we're in public, but it's not the real version of who we are. Underneath that, we have a layer of shame. And in the center, we have our true self. In two days, everyone at the fellowship shared their most vulnerable stories. We tore off the masks. And through that, we were able to start building each other up. Being vulnerable is a sign of courage (shoutout to Kevin).

I pray and hope that I can bring this back home. This is something that is needed to grow/encourage each other in Christ. No one is perfect. And that's okay, because there's a greater Grace to be received.

Doors Open and Close
I got to listen to Michelle D. Jones, who is an amazing woman of God. She held a workshop session at the JP Conference. She briefly talked about how our God-given desires are worth pursuing. However, there is a difference between creating our desires and pursuing them.

We are called to follow His will. That does NOT mean we should start busting down doors to create opportunities. It means we should patiently prepare ourselves until a door is opened and/or closed. As long as we're doing our best to serve and live a selfless life according to His will, He will open and close doors as we journey through life.

There's so much more to talk about. But this is the best I can do to put it in a nutshell. I hope this post can encourage many of you. And I pray that we can all live by His grace.
