how are we supposed to handle the mornings after incredible moments and experiences and conversations and stories?
i mean seriously... do you not feel like a depression or something the next morning after experiencing something that was way beyond and bigger than who we are?
it seems like lately that the less i say the more i experience... what a thought! last night i pretty much had nothing to do with the night at large... but when i sit back and watch teenagers use their lives to begin to understand influence and put their reputation on the line and their integrity on the line to invite their friends into a community that is seriously trying to BE a community... its sweet!
i am so proud to be a part of this movement... as small as it may seem... its the depth and the deep wells that have begun to be dug with every push of the head of the shovel into the dirt of life that puts smiles on my face and my heart.
i don't mind the morning after hangover after drinking from deep wells dug by people pursuing what it looks like to follow christ...
its not an idea...
its a way of life!

"put their reputation on the line and their integrity on the line"
This is what I have been dealing with hardcore the past few years. I LOVE how we are starting to overcome this. Nothing makes me happier than to see the movement that has taken place at the REALM
I"m glad you read that e-mail last night and woke us up to what we've been neglecting..i'm sad to say that even after it was said many new faces continued to be ignored... but it's true that we're not perfect and I pray that we become continuously more aware of those around us, those in influence by the realm.
good stuff =)
Last night was soooo sweet.
Just thinking about how our community has grown...it makes me jump up and down! And seeing it is on a totally different level of excitement!
:)
I love that God has made me unashamed. I CAN'T WAIT for school to start.
I never thought I would say that...but it's true!
