Hmmmmm

I wonder what the rest of the day will bring. I mean, I wonder what the far future will bring as well, but I wonder all the more about the rest of the day. What will I do? Where will I go? Who will I come in contact with?
Today I want to have one interaction with someone that I could write a story about. The plan is to go to Sioux Falls, SD for tonight and hang out with some lovely friends that are here from Oregon. That could make for a good story, or perhaps the ride down.
You see, God's put a lot of amazing people in my life. People that I don't necessarily deserve in my life God has put there, and two of them will hopefully be joining me. When we get together we can't help but talk about Him and what He's doing in our lives. To me, this is so exciting. Our conversations mean more, we grow into a better friendship with each other as well as with him.
For example, I know this amazing girl named Abi. She's a transfer student this year and I met her only a week ago. It feels like I've known her for at least a year. The first time I met her was at our women's Bible study. Then last weekend she came to Onething with us. Everyone that was there came so much closer together, and we all definitely got closer to Abi. She just has that type of personality that you don't ever want to miss out on.
Since then I've hung out with her quite a few times, and God just continues to challenge me through her. The things she struggles with are exactly what I'm struggling with and have been for a while. I personally think the devil wants people to feel alone so they can't fight against the temptation or depression their problem brings when the truth is quite the opposite. You're never fully alone. God is always with you and there's always someone on this earth who has dealt or is dealing with the same thing you are. Sure, it may be in a slightly different way, but the fact is that God places people in our lives to help us conquer our struggles through Him. I firmly believe that's why He's put Abi in my life and that's why she's coming with me tonight.
So perhaps I'll write a story about our adventures in my little white car or perhaps I'll just write


So I'm back, it's almost 5 a.m. and I still have to work on some homework for tomorrow. So much fun was had tonight, I can't even begin to describe it. I could have a million stories out of this one night, it's nuts.

I love this life.
