Finding Love

So, late night with my best friends... AMAZING.

One of my bestest guy friends, Taylor, came home today from younglife summer staff in Colorado. We got to hang out, just like old times, with all of our other buddies. We had such a tight group of friends growing up, and it's an amazzing feeling to find that again. :)

Taylor kept saying, "I love you guys" over and over again tonight, oh how I missed him! It showed me how absolutely blessed I am to have the friends I have, and to have had some of them since I was 5 years old..crazy! Gah, "A friend loves at all times" Proverbs 17:17, these friends are some of the only people I can truly say love me for me, ALL of me, ALL the time and always will. I'm SO blessed!

While in CO, Taylor was a horse wrangler. He named his horse Agape. Agape is the ultimate love- The love of Christ for mankind, a divine, unconditional love. Got me thinking.. how lucky am I? To know that God loves me more than I could ever begin to fathom. "God demonstrates His love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us!" -Romans 5:8. What an amazing love. The goal I was inspired to have is to show others that kind of love. An unconditional love, that knows no limits. I want to love like Christ loves.

Tomorrow, Monday, I leave for GA (girls in action) camp with good ol' FBC Allen. I'll be a sponsor for 3-6 graders! :) It's a 5 day camp of all girls, learning about God's love, agape, and learning how to show that kind of love. SO cool that it came at the perfect time. I guess that's another thing, God really knows how to plan. My hope for the week is that I can show my girls Christ's love, that love that knows no boundaries. I am so ready to see what God has in store for the week! Prayers would be appreciated! :)

Love you all, see you in 5 days!
