Nice to know

So there I am tonight, sitting in Wendy's with the one of the most unique group of people that I have probably ever seen. Looking back on the night, it's something that I haven't experienced in a while. Keep in mind that that this group has only been together for maybe a month but we were all so able just to be open with each other even though some of us did not know each other that well. During this, we suddently found ourselves praying for each other right there in the middle of Wendy's. Who'd ever think that we would find ourselves praying for each other in Wendy's but it was so awesome. Sure we may not have that many things in common or not know each other but the one thing that we do all have in common is our love for Jesus and thats all we really ever need. That's the bond that makes things like this possible. That's why thinngs like praying for a complete stranger on the street is possible because we know what it's like to be loved by the Lord. I love how God brings it all together. Just the sense of God brings that sense of community whether it be with a group that you know nothing about or whether it's a group that you have spent your whole life with. Even if you do not know each other that much, the feeling of thinking you have known them your whole life comes from the Lord. He take a frienship of just one day and turn it into a relationship that feels like it has always been there. It was a fantastic day and night and there were hugs all around. We even got to see a frozen snake:) Thank you Lord for nights like this and the opportunity to make friendships that will never end and it's all because the bond of the Lord's love that we all share in common. So thank you Hannah, Sarah, Jenny, Brooke, Ashley, Beau, Austin for this night! And a shout out to Hannah for being baptized and publicly proclaiming her faith!!! Jesus is awesome and so is life!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
