I'm finally getting a taste of the freedom and independence that comes with young adult life. Financial, physical, emotional independence, with friends to share it with. I had fun tonight with a group of girl friends I've grown to care about, support, love, pray for. They're an amazing group of women (and still very single and available ;)) and friends I'm privileged to have. Tonight was natural, yet purposeful, fun yet intellectual, secular yet Christian, possibly my first glimpse into the way God meant for Christian relationships to be. Tonight I realised that God blessed me with these strong, supportive, caring, beautiful, wonderful women to share my young adult life with. It's purely His grace to me because this hasn't been one of the things I've prayed for. I realized too that I will miss the friendships and hang out times with these Godly women when I leave here for home.
And so its prayer that I end this post.
God, please continue to grow and sustain the friendships you've so graciously bestowed to me. May I use each day here to serve, love, support, and grow these women. And may there be more of these friendships amongst the church. God, I pray that you will remind us each time exclusivity creeps in, and please PLEASE add to our numbers because I would love for more people to understand what doing YA life together looks like.
God, the other thing I will ask for, and only because You first gave me a foretaste of what could be, is for you to go before me and form such relationships within the church at home. I'm not sure how bearable YA life is without it!
