Fellowship tonight was a blessing.
Ever since Sarah left, I felt really wary of going to church. Sarah was my comfort; she's a good friend and she knows me well. I knew that tonight was going to be weird for me, since I don't know any of the other people here that well.
I got to know JLee and John Moon a little better from our hang out when Grace was over, and tonight, I got to know Yooni and Jaehee a little better and it's really encouraging that during the summer God is still showing me that building relationships isn't as hard as it may seem. When I decided to break off a relationship that was really important to me, I was convicted that God would provide the friends and the relationships that I desired and needed. I needed friends that I could talk to about problems; I needed friends who would be my community and lift me up when I'm down. Granted, GMCC is a church with a blessed community, but I needed that group of friends that I always happened to have at home.
After the break-up, I became good friends with so many people, but this summer has just been a surprise and a blessing molded into one. I've become better friends with many of the girls in my class as well as in other years. I never thought that I was really good at becoming friends with girls, but God has really started to shape my heart and my personality and just shown me that anything is really possible.
