Today was insanely awesome! Back in Colorado at camp, our server all week was a girl named Katie, who also happened to be from Georgia. Through the course of our week at camp, we all got to know her, and have kept in touch with her since then. Well, today she was in Columbus so of course we planned a reunion! After we filled up on Mexican food and Dairy Queen, the only logical place to go next was the roof of our hospital's parking garage.
As we sat under the sweet southern sunset (hehe), and watched the heat lightning, our moods shifted and we were suddenly talking about every aspect of life- Jesus, school, relationships, families, pressure, happiness, our hopes, and our fears. And that's one of the many things I love about my friend group. We can easily shift and talk about what really matters, instead of leaving our conversations on the surface. I am totally not afraid or embarrassed to talk about my relationship with Jesus around them. In fact, I'm encouraged by them every single day to pursue His love and guidance.
Tonight was a huge head-clearer for me. By letting out everything that's been bothering me, I received so much advice and guidance from my friends, as well as from Jesus too.
At this time in my life, I am so full of joy and life and energy, and I just want to share it with everyone I come into contact with. I want to radiate God's love to others so that they can experience it for themselves because there truly is no greater feeling.
