By its nature the human soul is Christian; Christianity is always adopted by people as something forgotten and suddenly remembered.

Leo Tolstoy

Last week I was blessed with the opportunity to take off for a week with a group of leaders from CRM.  I spent the first couple of days yearning for the depth I saw in these guys, as if they were living their true nature, something I had seemed to have forgotten over the tough weeks and months before.

I was reminded of how much I need a community of faith around me, our collective momentum pulling me deeper into God and pushing me outward in mission.  It was as if I was trying to remember the rhythm of what God has been doing in my life.

That rhythm, carries me along to a place where I will join God in helping others remember the true nature of their souls.  Shaping communities of faith and living life in a way that inspires those that are lost to remember and find redemption as followers of Christ, lost only because they have forgotten the way.

Nearing the end of the week I heard the rhythm, something forgotten and suddenly remembered, and began to let it carry me once again.
