This past weekend was Pacific Region’s MCG Retreat where all the new members that just stepped up into the Mission Core Group would attend.
Although the weekend was supposed to teach them the anointing they received was given by God, it wasn’t what stood out to me the most. My single greatest and most joyous highlight was during our informal fellowship when we were playing ‘Minute To Win It’ and the game we were playing required you to move a cookie from your forehead to your mouth. Sounds kind of silly at first…… and it totally is. You can imagine the kinds of faces people were making in order to move the cookie accordingly! “Eye Of The Tiger” played in the background and EVERYONE was participating. It was a beautiful moment of joy, humility, fellowship, and most importantly being a fool. Everyone’s walls were torn down and it didn’t matter whether you really knew the other person or not, we were all in this crazy zone of craziness happening and we could honestly care less. The Lord’s joy was so evident in that room, and from where I was standing the Spirit was very present within each and every person. In all this silliness, the Lord wanted to remind us that sometimes we take ourselves too seriously. That sometimes, we need a break and have that ability to become like a child all over again, cause after all…
“Truly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child shall not enter it.” Mark 10:15 (RSV)
