I have met some of the most amazing people I know through my church. They encourage me, support me, and make me laugh--which in my book is pretty darn important. They are my people. They are the people that I connect with on a deeper level that most ordinary friendships, and they bless me everyday with the way they put up with me!
I thrive off of community. I live for the days where I get to be around people that I love. I enjoy meeting new people, and even though I sometimes get really intimidated by the idea of meeting new friends, when I really push myself--when I dive in--I've met some crazy amazing people! I'm in my element when I'm around people, my joy increases when I get in a room buzzing with conversation and activity, and in some amazing, crazy awesome way I can feel the Holy Spirit when I'm surrounded by people and activity.
I think that friendships (and relationships, in general) are some of the most important relationships that a person can have! Even God thinks so...he says "It is not good for man to be alone..." God created us to engage in community, in fellowship through Him! He didn't create us to alienate ourselves from the world; he created us to make the most of the life He's given us, and I think that includes living a life full of joy through relationships.
Before I publish this post let me just say a big thank you to everyone who clicks on my link each time I post and reads what I write. I feel so blessed to have people who have messaged and commented to tell me that my words have touched their heart! I blog because I love to write...my passion is to talk and teach and learn more about God and myself (even though I'm not the expert when it comes to scripture.) So, THANK YOU--from the bottom of my heart.
