Endings...

So summer is officially over and School is about to begin... again. As summer has come and gone I pray that each of us will take a moment to reflect on the principles learned, take joy in the friendships that were made, and remember all of the late night conversations that were "seasoned with salt". Here are mine:

Principles Learned
-God's calling the shots whether you think you are or not, so just accept it.
-Everyone has a story to tell and wants to tell it.
-God will get the glory. Period. The End. ( This means that things won't always go according to our plan. See Point #1 above for further info.)

Friendships Made
-Wow! Where to start with this one. I'm afraid to mention direct people by name for fear of leaving anyone out. So, to be generally specific, the Romans Bible Study group. Each and everyone of these people are absolutely amazing. Never before have I been surrounded by such a humble, God fearing, Christ seeking, Gospel loving, and Hermeneutically correct group of People.

-Of course, SDEA. everyone there will great you with either a smile (Gina only after 10), laugh (Billy), Raptor arms (Katie), Doo -Rag (BJ) or Irish Creme coffee creamer (Kiki and Ryan). They will build you up in ways you never thought possible and are always there to both laugh and cry with you. You gotta Love 'em!

Late Nights
-Baron's Game
-Drive In
-Talking about God on top of a Barn while watching shooting stars and eating cobbler!
-Waiting on a friend to get home
- Driving all over the place while listening to podcasts by David Platt or jammin' to Phil Whickham

Yeah, summer was pretty Incomparable. May we always continue to Stand in the Gap!
