I think its so awesome

Today I talked to an old dear friend. Jason and I are at similiar places in our lives, we both are involved in church plants. While talking today I realized how well the Lord can put two people in a relationship in a time and a place (For me it was 7th grade and Jason was the youth pastor of the youth group I had previously attended). We met and Jason has been an important influence in my life. I really enjoy the amount of love, wisdom and grace Jason has extended me through the years. 

Now as I am an adult, me and Jason are in similiar places in life. We can discuss how God is working in similiar ways, even though I am in Azusa, California and he is in Camas Washington. We can discuss these things and I am so grateful that God cares enough about me to put this kind of person in my life. 

I look forward to all of these types of relationships that God has put into my life and how they will help me grow as I get older.

Clarity amongst the coluds

God is good, thats all I can really start this post of by saying. I am finding that as I grow in my relationship with God he reveals things to me, that can really only be from him. Lately I have tries to focus my concentration on him, and in this I have really grown. I have come to realize areas of my life that hinder me from connecting with God. My best example is my family. I love my family, I have the perfect one for me, I love every member of it so much. But as a family we never really talk about anything until it blows up as a major issue. This is something that I noticed lately and had a "revelation" about it last night, at church. I normally come to God when ish hits the fan or I am extremely lost. In the past four weeks or so I have come to a place where when things cross my mind I bring them to God. It has become so awesome I find myself growing in ways that I did not realize that I had to grow in. I am so thankful for God taking me and shaping me.

I think its awesome that he is always there for me to talk to, in the awesome, in the good, the bad, and the ugly. I just gotta remember that.
