In the past few days, I've had a lot of inspiration. Not just inspiration to write, but also spiritual inspiration (that sounds kinda repetitive) and just little comments that still make me laugh.
Here are a few:
Todd and Katie. Todd is on his last tour with his band, and his fiancée Katie is in Gambia right now. After talking to him last night, I can just see how beautiful of a relationship these two have. Katie is absolutely amazing and I look up to her so much- no joke. How she's dealing with working in a hospital/training nurses in this hospital with little supplies is incredible- I just can't imagine it. I know as soon as they can, they will both be out on the mission field and in foreign countries as much as they can. SO AWESOME!
My friend Ryan made this comment to me: "If I was in a band, I would want you as my biggest fan. You like every band no matter how bad they are." Made me laugh. Thanks Ryan.
A myspace message from Jesse the incredible Perkins waiter. Oh, but I have to tell you the backstory on this one. I met this dude- he was our waiter at Perkins. He looked like a band guy, so I asked him if he was in a band. Sure enough, he was. And sure enough, he is also starting a production company with one of my friends. Small world. Anyway, here was the end of the message today that made me laugh: "p.s. I can spell my name using only letters from your name. wild."
Last year, my now roommate Bekah showed me the meaning of searching for Truth. This year, I have been after that so much more. Whether it's people spurring me on to look into the truth about worship, baptism, communion, or about other beliefs I hold dear, it's constantly making me search for the Biblical Truth about why I believe what I believe. It just reinforces why I believe what I believe. 1 Peter 3:15- "But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have." The rest of this chapter is amazing too, but that's for a different post. In fact, I'm just really into the epistles right now, so you may just be hearing more about that.
My friend Abi has also just been incredible (like she always is). Life's not the easiest right now, financially, spiritually, relationally I guess, but her and I just... click. She's always there to add something to what I've been learning, always there to spur me on toward Christ- I can only hope I do that for her as well.
And there's something to be said for family. I absolutely adore them and love them to no end.
Okay, I gotta go study... test today that I'm completely not ready for!!!
