relate

I am extremely blown away by relationships, by God's heart for people and the way that he made us for relationships, in His image. I'm embracing what it is to be human, to have compassion and love, to build meaningful and intentional relationships that only God has wanted us to construct. He gives us this beautiful ability to CREATE relationships because he is the Creator.

Today I met with a friend, Chelsea, and we had coffee. Except it lasted three hours. We talked and shared and were honest and opened and related. I know that our hearts are bent towards God, allowing him to shine and work and move in the deepest places, not just surface level. It was awesome to meet up, get to know a new friend, and just be real. I'm sure a lovely friendship will come of it :) I'm excited to continue to see God move in ways such as these. I'm glad I found someone to entirely relate to on the level of journaling, writing, conversating.

It's a beautiful sunny day in Orlando. Finally without rain, pure shine. It's incredibly weird to realize that I do not have to return to school again; I'm done. I feel like I have SO much time, because I do, and it's crazy. I like it though. It'll take getting used to. I have free time to write and talk and breathe and just be in the silence or wonder with God. He can swirl around me in the entirety I've been longing for. It's freeing and fulfilling and a breath of fresh air.

God, come reign in every aspect of my life. Fill me up with you. Break me. Mold me. Love me. Do what you will. That is my prayer.
