This past weekend, I had a blast with all my friends here in Pensacola. It was one of those moments in life when I realized how completely blessed I am to have such wonderful people to call my friends. Between going out to O'Reily's to sitting on curbs at the Army recruitment office parking lot, I stood in awe of the genuine care we have for each other. It's subtle but strong through any felt emotion or transient thought. As I stood apart for a moment, I knew that God has graciously blessed me.
The love that Christ has for me is unspeakable at times. In fact, I am simply left with tears. He loves me. Why? He gives me people that are infused into the patterns of my life. Why? He daily calls me to be with these people that I have been angry, joyful, hurt, peaceful, hopeful, and encouraged by as we walk along life's ends and outs: together, not alone. Why? He loves me. That's why. He loves us.
It was most difficult to not only say 'goodbye' to a friend, but to see a person that is more than a friend walk away. This friend was a son, a brother, a confidant, a rock, a humor, a twin. It's amazing how much God invests with us. I am sad to say goodbye to those whom I love, but delight in seeing how precious we are to one another.
