Reconnecting with old faces on Facebook

I recently opened a profile on facebook.com. WOW it has been amazing to discover all those people I sometimes think about but haven't seen for many years. In some cases I have connected with people I haven't talked to in over 12 years. It is always interesting to see what people are doing nowadays...where they live, what they do, if they have a family now, and so forth. I also think we forget that there are people out there thinking about us that we didn't even realize. Think about it. There are people from our past that we think about that may not remember us that well. Then there are people out there that are wondering what is going on in our life and we don't really think about them that much at all. That's confusing isn't it. The value for me is to realize that we all impact people differently. What we say or do is going to be more meaningful for some and less meaningful for others. Some people are going to feel more important to us then we do to them. It has been an interesting experience. One thing I do recognize is that when you share Jesus Christ with others you always stay connected. There is a bond there that can't be broken no matter how long it has been.

It has been a real encouragement for me to reconnect with so many people. One thing it does for me is to really think about where I am at and how I got here. When 12 years passes we forget so much of what God has done. We are often quick to wonder where God is or wonder what he has done when the truth is He has moved mountains in our life. In the last few days I have grown a new appreciation for the journey that has been my life. I am discovering more and more of the things I have taken for granted and I have spent a lot of time in pray thanking God for that work. I wonder...what has God done in your life in the last 12 years? When was the last time you sat down and thought about it like that? I would encourage you to take an inventory and see where He has been working. Trust me, it will give you a whole new appreciation for where you are at now.

So if you are on facebook and haven't connected with me yet, just do a search for me and send me a poke and we will let the good-times role. Or maybe you should check it out. Setting up a profile is free and it is a great way to connect with people you haven't seen for years. Anyway...see you out there in cyberspace somewhere! Blessings, Your Dreaming Pastor
