Night Chat With Friends
I had an in-depth conversation with Kim and Lloyd a while ago. We were planning our get together (God willing) this December and I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THEM! I haven't seen some of them for over a year now and just the thought of us spending some quality time together (SOON) keeps me going! It feels good to keep in touch with them once in a while. And today, they made me so HAPPY!
During that short conversation we had over Facebook, we talk a little bit about our own spiritual growth over the past years. Each of us has something to share. I know I have so much to learn but to connect with them in that way is just...different. I just started my journey 26 days ago and my Bible reading some 16 days ago so I really need to double up my pace. Hmm, not that I'm in a hurry but I can't connect the dots when I'm reading because it's been a long while since I've read the Bible. Some of the things that has happened seem blurry now. Can you imagine? I even forgot that Cain and Abel (and Seth, yes) were sons of Adam and Eve! I thought they were just some far descendants of our first parents! I know I'm shameful. :( BUT, I'm doing everything I can to make it up for the lost times.
I really feel that each of us grew up spiritually (and as Lloyd said, "we grew up as a person...but one can never be mature enough"). It's amazing how we used to talk about our crushes, projects, thesis, SAD, Philo, and some simple things but now, we're taking it all up into the next level. It's a different kind of experience, talking to them now than before. I hope we can have a more serious talk when we see each other.
Can't wait to see you all (Mature)4+1 :D
Isn't it wonderful to have friends like that?! I know what you mean about the delight of catching up.
ReplyDeleteI'm excited about your new, stepped up, openness to God and His Word. I'm looking forward to reading about all He's showing you. Although we've never actually met, I care, and my prayers are with you.
