Friendship



I've been thinking about friends a lot and especially after church on Sunday, I've really been trying to check myself out and make sure I'm being the kind of friend I need to be. We went skiing this past weekend with Center Point Youth and College kids and we had such a wonderful time. I love getting away with other believers and just making time to really get to know one another. I spent some time in the back on the van on the way up and back with Marie, Allison, Lindsey, and Jeanene, and it just really remined me of how much fun it is to make new friends. It also makes me more excited for Sunday (if that's possible) so that I can see everyone. I also found that I really enjoy running into my church friends at school when I least expect it. In one day, I ran into both Jenna and Taylor and it really just made my day because these are the people in my life who really share my love for Christ and can offer so much encouragement. Yeah, it's good to see them on Wednesday nights and Sunday mornings, but I often find myself missing their encouragement throughout the week. I would like to run into people more often! I am just so thankful for Center Point; everyday I just praise God for brining me here at this time in my life. He's taught me so much what it means to really make and have good friends. I couldn't ask for a better blessing in my life!
