Conversations 'til 7am!

Hello there! :) I am awake! I cannot believe I am because I fell asleep at 7am this morning and had to get up at 8:30am because I was meeting up with a great friend of mine for breakfast! Cancel? Heck no! :P I had not seen this girl in forever so, no. It was great btw. :) 

This Girl down below and I fell under the spell of not sleeping and staying up and about ALL night. 

Last night was great! Not only because I got to hang out with my roommate and friend, but because our conversation was amazing. It was just one of those conversations where things just flow and you try to say everything that you've had in mind about the subject that it's just impossible to stop! Especially when the other person has been thinking about the same thing and is as passionate about the conversation as you are! I would loooove love to share with you sometime what it was about and how our minds just kept going at it. I mean, we started at 3am until 7am when my eyes suddenly got insanely heavy! I just wanted to share how very blessed I am to have people in my life I can talk to and be myself with. It is pretty freeing and real because it's friends like these that you can count on and simply encourage to continue despite anything that is going on in life. Because....it's not like life is perfect right? Or that WE are perfect right? Yet when we seem to speak to people we tend to say everything is fine, we tend to talk about the success in such and such, or how we accomplished X thing, and how happy "such" thing makes us, etc. We also do that in church right? Attend, be civil, say hello here and there, try to fellowship some and say what? OH! That everything thank the Lord is fine *smile*, and go to the next person or just go on to lunch or whatever is next. People say church is like a hospital right? For the broken and the needy. Do we think that the broken and needy at times are just the new comers who might not know the Lord or that one person we think is in some serious mess? How about me? Me? Mmmmm.....sometimes, but right now things are good, relationship with the Lord? beautiful! Not really broken today, nothing messy going on today. "Everything is fine." 

More on that, some other time I can gather my thoughts better and tell you more. Our conclusion though, I will say it because it's a truth that we should ask the Lord consistently to live by, and that is the Gospel. The Gospel is what breaks it down for us and anyone. It's what we should hold on tight to every day, at all times. :) I encourage you to do that and ask the Lord to reveal even the most hidden, unknown things in your life that might be interfering with your relationship with the Lord. Because truth is, we can't see it all and spot everything that is wrong in our lives. Truth is, we need Him...always.
