Beautiful Way to Grow

Friends. They are the chosen ones that help me grow in Christ. They are the ones who go with me to evangelize. They are the ones who go on carousel rides with me. They are the ones I find growing relationships in. They are the ones that give me space when I need it, and love when I don't deserve it. Friends. They fill my day up with joy. They populate every corner of my life.

The beauty of it all is that friends are like rays of sunlight fleeting to the ground to meet me where my blossoming petals ingest their radiant beauty. God has sent into my life like a glistening snow fall a furious flurry of friends that support me, that I can depend on, that I may have enjoyable times with.

Given the extreme circumstances and the radical way of life that is Christianity, it is absolutely key to have a foundational group of pals that will stick with you, that will listen to you, that will give you helpful advice, as well ask ask you the hard questions that need to be asked.

This is a letter of thanks to all of my friends. You are my beautiful way to grow, as a man, as part of the human race, as a follower of Christ. You, my friends, give my life spice, variety, ever changing dynamic feelings, and one of many reasons to explain why there is a God. Just as I want to have fellowship with others, God wants fellowship with us. I know that I have a hard time finding time to talk to all of you, but I know God has plenty of time for everyone!

Thanks friends, for showing me love.
