Good friends, good fellowship

I had a really good time at study tonight. I feel like I was meant to hear this particular topic on this particular day. I also felt that way about yesterday's topic. Seems like some common themes keep cropping up as of late... and I feel like I'm listening. I so drastically want change right now, so I'm glad to have been given some good concepts on which to meditate this week. I love being a person in progress, and I hope to never be satisfied with just the status quo.

Our cell group meeting was really good last night. I was actually able to sit back and relax and not worry about how late it was. I don't think that I was annoyed at a single rabbit trail we took either.
After Jason's cell group training, I've really come to realize that our group should be equally focused on developing deep friendships and community as much as it should be about studying the Bible. And, it takes a whole heckofalot of rabbit trails to really know people better.
Since I missed both your cell group and the sermon on Sunday, what are they about? What are you growing in?
To sum it all up, I'm just being convicted about having a servant's heart and not seeking approval from others. It's basically the same thing I've been struggling with for the last month or so. I'm more of an acceptance seeker than an approval seeker, but they're basically the same feeling for me. And I have definitely been very selfish for a while now. It's not who I want to be, or that I've been trying to be that way, but I am a sinner. I want to "conduct [myself] in a manner worthy of the gospel" (Phil 1:27) by doing what is good since I have been given so much. Remembering what I have been given and knowing how I have behaved helps me to develop more humility and encourages me to be more of a servant with my attitude. Anyway, that's a really simplistic view, but then I'm not a theologian. :-D I'm keeping things a little generic just for the sake of time and space, too.
Oh, and the sermon focused on Philippians 1:27-2:18, which also came up during study yesterday.
