Tonight, Cave Spring YL was cancelled so I thought that having some friends over for dinner would be a fun alternative. I invited about twelve girls and only two showed up. I was actually happy about that - I'm not sure I even had twelve clean plates. I got to have dinner with two beautiful girls that I haven't been able to spend time with in a long time. We laughed, and talked about life and of course, ate good food (thanks for the AWESOME sticky bread Nicole!).
While this was just a laid back dinner, I treasured every moment of it. I have been struggling this first semester with feeling as though I don't belong and that I don't have friends; I have believed lies from the evil one. While thinking about the events of tonight my eyes are beginning to water. I remember that we were made for relationships.
Every page in the bible is full of people and how they are made for relationships. We were not only made for a beautiful and full relationship with Christ, but we are meant for loving and encouraging relationships with people around us.
Tonight reminded me of how the Lord has really blessed me with these awesome girls around me that are so fun and great to hang out with. He reminded me tonight that YL isn't just about the fun of club and the laughs, but the people that you get to laugh with and share your life with; the relationships that are usually deeper than the norm. It's beautiful; breathtaking actually.
Lord, you know me well and you know exactly what is best for me. I love you lots! May your light be shown in the darkest of places and may you be the center of the relationships we make.
Love forever, the daughter whom you love.
