communal conversation.

i am leaving in a few minutes to go dialogue with some individuals about entering into an intentional community that i spoke about here. hannah and i are nothing but excited. being part of our new years resolution to begin communal living we are just excited for the possibilities. so much of history was written by people living in multi-family houses, huts, and shelters. especially our individualized materialistic america has proclaimed land for all ever since they let the settlers run to claim land from the east coast. hannah and i do not need our own place. we do not need our own blender and our own couch. we do not need to pay an excessive amount of rent when we can be better stewards with the resources God has granted. we want to love God and we want to love others. we want to live in an intentional community that encompasses the same desires. a community of friends devoted to materialistic simplicity and spiritual complexity. a community bonded through acceptance and forgiveness and rooted in truth and love. a community that does not turn to internal security but reaches out to others offering a picture of the kingdom. a community that exists outside of individualism and embraces missionalism. this is the community we want. this is the community we pray for. this is the community in which hannah and i would like to serve Christ this next year.
