praise Him

i just wanted to say.... i love the Lord!!! i talked with heather and sara for about the last 45 minutes about a ton of stuff. some times i wonder what the Lord has planned for my life since i'm being so blessed right now with rich fellowship. maybe this is preparation for the summer when i'll be a little more isolated from strong believers? maybe for future ministry when i'll be off overseas somewhere serving in some remote tribe with no other believers around? maybe the Lord is teaching me how to be a friend and love and give of myself without expecting in return? only the Lord knows, but i'm SO thankful for how He has been blessing me and teaching me.

one more thing, tonight matt called and we talked for a little while and part of the conversation was the "just friends" thing. really, i am so thankful for the Lord's grace. it was a great time of sharing and explaining and being honest. it was such an answer to prayer, especially now knowing we're both on the same page. so now i'm praying that i'll continue treating him as my brother in Christ and encourage Him to keep pursuing the Lord. God is SO good!
