Three girls in search of the Holy Spirit

I’m in a small group for this school year with two other girls. A month ago, these two girls were complete strangers to me, but now the three of us are on an adventure, of sorts.



Our quest began this morning with:

  • Caffeinated tea
  • New journals
  • Pens
  • Prayer
  • Bibles
  • Friendship
  • Curiosity
  • Lots of questions
  • The desire to learn
  • Anticipation of what the Spirit can do
  • Longing hearts
  • Forgotten God by Francis Chan



If you didn’t figure it out from reading the title of this post, we’re on a search for the Holy Spirit. We all believe that the Holy Spirit is with us, but desire both a greater awareness of him* in our lives and a greater knowledge of him in general.



Francis Chan wrote, “He is infinite and we are finite; there will always be more of His character to discover, more of His love to experience, and more of His power to use for His purposes,” (pg. 21).


I'm ready and excited to see what the Holy Spirit will do through this small group.



*I took Greek and know that the noun is neither male nor female but feel strange writing “it” when referring to the Holy Spirit. But thanks to the little Bible student (punk) that pointed that out to me. :)
