Importance of fellowship

   Today was a good day even if I did have to work 11 hours, which is about normal for a Friday. Ok, it would be 13 but I am taking a couple hours worth home with me to do tonight. I've been getting a little worn down with my job lately but came in this morning with a fresh energy and drive and even managed a minor redesign that I have been wanting done for a while now.
   I'm pretty sure a night of fellowship with the ladies from church last night after a great ministry class on the Holy Spirit Wednesday night had a lot to do with it. There was a time period of over a year when I stopped going to church. It wasn't that I lost my path with the Lord, it was that I needed to find a place where I could grow spiritually and that my husband and I could share our love for the Lord. Within a few weeks I was feeling lost and went through some pretty trying times during that year.
   We don't realize until we have been away from it how important fellowship with other Christians is in our lives. We need the support of one another and the shared testimonies to stay on the right path. It keeps us uplifted and strengthens us when we are weak.

Hebrews 10:23-25 - Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful.  And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.
