I had the opportunity to hangout with a good friend tonight. It was just what I needed. We sat at Starbucks for hours talking about books and music and Jesus over a couple cups of green tea (a HUGE plus….nobody likes my green tea). I’m pretty sure that we spent a solid hour disecting the words of C.S. Lewis. (pick up The Screwtape Letters, it will change your life), and talking about the Lord and the honest struggles we were enduring.
I’ve forgotten how good it feels to have honest discussions about things that really matter. Conversing about thoughts on the heart of Jesus and our genuine desire to pursue Him, but our tendancy to get tripped up by the same things that can produce a lifestyle that doesn’t always reflect that desire. Tonight reminded me that we are meant to be together. We’re meant to talk about what’s on our heart. It can bring so much relief. And reminds me that God knows what He’s doing. I’m grateful for nights like these.
Admit you’re ready
To trust in something real
It’s not weak
You’re stronger than you know
When you realize you’re not your own
