Tabula Rasa
Our team name is Tabula Rasa, it means blank slate. This month we have been learning the art of Tabula Rasa, how to forgive and give blank slates and do life together. Its a process.
Kristin Armstrong describes it perfectly, like a three-legged race.
In communities, at work, but particularly in families, people are put together in something like a three-legged race. God means us to cross the finish line together, and all the other people tied together with us play some part in our progress. They are oftentimes to rouse our stubborn sins to the surface, where we can deal with them and overcome them. Bundled together families, a giant seven- or nine- or fifteen- legged pack, we seem to make very poor progress indeed and fall to the ground in bickering heaps with some regularity. But God has put us together–has appointed each person in your bundle specifically for you, and you for them. And so little children, let us love one another with might and main, and keep hopping together towards the finish line.
This is perfect.
We are in this race together.
God chose it and is working out his love in us.
We have some really great nights and some rougher ones, but through it all we are bound in his love and grace, showing each other the mercy He shows us.
I am beyond thankful for my team. I am thankful for their ministry to me, what God is doing through us, and that we are in it to win it, not crossing the finish line is not an option.
