LAST NIGHT



Hey Tribe!

Well last night we talked about what it means to search for something.  The Magi searched for Jesus all over the countryside and fell down and worshipped at His feet (Matthew 2).  All of us are in search of something to worship, whether we admit it or not.  I put two crowns up on stage.  One I called the "Pretty, pretty Princess Crown" and the other was the crown of thorns.  My point with the princess crown was that often times we pretend to be the kings and queens of our own destiny.  We take the steering wheel and drive our lives.  Most often times, it doesn't end so well.  The alternative is to give our lives to the King with nail pierced hands and let Him control our destiny.

Last night, I asked the question, "What are you searching for?"  I was able to read through some of your thoughts and was blown away by some of your responses.  You'd be encouraged to know that a lot of you are struggling with the same things.  Topping the charts were struggles with family, divorce, friendships and financial problems.  Though these things are not "good" it is good to know that others that you are in the Vibe Tribe together with can understand how you are feeling.  I would LOVE to hear your thoughts about last night and things that you are struggling with.  Post a thought or opinion on this page if you would like.  I love you guys and look forward to hearing your responses.
