So, in honor of the Houston trip reunion, I thought I would remind you all of just how awesome you are in your own individual ways. SUPER GROUP - plus some others. haha. Here comes the boom.
Paul - You're such an awesome role model for the men at Friends U. You know how to balance social life, your crazy-tough schedule, athletics, being an RA, and an encouraging and serious relationship with Ellen. You have been the coolest RA this year, and a great friend. I see Christ in you in so many ways. Your leadership on the crew and the way you treat Ellen exudes Christ.
Danny - I stinkin love you. Although I've only been blessed to play Ultimate with you once since we've been back, it was also a curse because I wasn't on your team. I heard all of the stories, but didn't realize how big of a monster you were until I witnessed first hand. I see Christ in the way that you love all of his creation, especially his animals. Once again, you're like the most rare animal at the Zoo, the one everyone hears of and how great and awesome it is, but never sees. You're a behind the scenes kinda guy, and I love it.
Gina - I feel like you're my sister, Gina. You passion for the homeless is evident, even though I've only been to church on the street with you once! You sat and talked, had some very awkward conversations about a man trying to blow up a school, but you took it like a champ and loved every minute of it. Its so great to see Christ in a relationship, which is what you have. I can't wait to get to know you better!
Matt - MattBusch(said in the special way that I say it with the awesome wave that we do). You've been the biggest blessing, friend. I love seeing you everyday in choir and out-and-about. You treat everyone like Jesus did, with respect and the thought that everyone matters. Keep being awesome!
Lindsey - BIG SIS! I love the snot out of you. Thanks for my meal a while back. It was DELICIOUS! You're the Queen of homemade bread. Anywho, I know that you will follow God and his plan for you concerning your trip to Spain. I love that you are so relient on him and don't need someone else to define you. I'm so glad God put you into my life, and can't wait for what he has in store for our friendship.
Tina- Hey girl, hey. You have the kindest soul. I know you're tough too, but you've embraced hugging like its going out of style. Listen - struggles happen, but God brings wonderful things and knowledge from them. I see Christ in you in your self-confidence. You love to be you, and I love that.
D-base- You're like my brother, man. I know that you're always there for me, and that you would do anything I asked you to, and pray for me whenever I need it, even if I don't ask you for it. I was so blessed by you and your prayer over me at the coffee house in Houston, but I never got the chance to tell you. I definitely think that you have the gift of prayer, and thats an awesome one to have.
Sarah - I love your attitude. You're always up for a challenge. Your kind, yet firm nature is hard to come by. I love the fact that you love your friends so much. Keep branching out and stepping out of your comfort zone, it will pay off. I see Christ in you everyday, just by the way that you talk to people. I've never heard a malicious thing come from your mouth, and thats way inspiring.
Lauren - I'm pretty sure you have the simplest and most loving heart that I have ever encountered. You brighten everyone's day by just being in the room. You're caring and thoughtful attitude exudes Christs' love.
Jessica - You have the most amazing grasp of what true beauty is. You see it in things that aren't physically attractive. You find beauty in experiences and emotions and relationships, and that is incredible. You have a kind heart and a soul full of joy, just like Christ wants for each of us.
Allison - I have never seen you without a smile on your face. You have the most genuine personality of anyone I know. Plus, we connect because we both come from extremely small schools. Who knew someone could bond over that, right? Thanks for always listening.
Rachel - You have the best listening-ears on the planet! Really, thanks so much for being there, being one of my closest friends, and enjoying my company just as much as I enjoy yours. I know that God has incredible plans for you, and I see Christ in you in this way: I think you exemplify God using the average person to do above average things. You. Straight. Up. Rock.
Amber - I love that you love life. We always have an awesome time together. And, you have the most ridiculous calling ever: Jr. High Math, of all things. You are so pacient and loving and nuturing. I can not wait to work with you and get to know you better this year! Love ya!
Parker - No puedo esperar para mis lecciones de guitarra el septimo ano. Voy a SHRED la guitarra. jaja. Y vas a ser un hispanohablante antes de lo conoces. Really though, I love your passion for Christ, and our spontaneous prayer for Lindsey the other night made me admire you and your trust in the Lord. PTL. Your dad had it down when he named you.
Wow. So much typing, haha.
