being away from everyone in my life these past few days has been good. as somewhat of an introvert, i'm definitely recharged by these times alone.
and yet it definitely brings to bear the God-given need in me for others. i miss keri! she is my best friend, my confidant, my lover, my true companion (little shout out to marc cohn -- love that song). something very supernatural about the bond between us. the mystery of marriage. wow. such a tangible, powerful connection. and that translates to a very real need right now, 4 days from seeing her.
thank You, Master, for the gift of a true companion.
i'm also keenly aware of my need for companions...male companions in this journey. it's hard. and i'm so broken. i yearn to fulfill the purposes and plans He has for me, and i find so much of how He spurs me on, humbles me, lifts me up, and transforms me is through some fellas...just a few fellas in my life.
thank You, Master, for the gifts of great companions in my life.
in this hard but extremely exciting season of life, i'm aware of the need to prioritize time with keri -- intentional time -- and time with a few close friends -- intentional time.
i want to serve, to lead well. i want to give sacrificially and generously. i want to obey radically.
and to do these things, to honor Christ in these things, i know a necessary component is intentionality with these amazing companions.
thank You, Master, for speaking to me in this way in the midst of my personal, solo retreat...
