House churches and families

It has been a while since I written but so much is going on. Right now I am in the great state of Florida after spending the last couple of weeks all up and down the east coast. I am with a missionary family that has just started a church called New Thing Fellowship. I got to meet them a couple of years ago and I come to stay with them anytime I am in there region. I have got to know and really fall in love with there ministry. And the thing that really stikes me about being with them is how much I feel like they are family. I was talking to friend about traveling and I have noticed there is a specific feeling that I get when people carry my same heart. It is like we all live in a huge house together and I have to get on an airplane to go to the other parts of the house to see them. One thing about home is it is messing and people have to learn how to live together but it comes with the best rewards. People dont want to go somewhere and feel like an alien, they want to feel welcomed and a part of the family. I think that is why the house church movement has exploded! I enjoy the large gatherings but there is something so intimate about a crowded house with screaming kids and people going after the deepness of Jesus' heart.
