You will become the people you hang out with the most, and Jesus is itching to be the person you hang out with the most. We all have those people we hope to one day befriend or get closer with. Jesus is far more awesome than any of those people, and He’s more up for it than you are. Character is so dope. I want some more.
A few weekends back I got to hang out with a handful of people from my DTS. I love how certain crowds bring out different qualities in others and me. Reminds me that we all have depth. More than you will probably see on any individual day. I’m thankful that I have friends that are living entirely different lives than I am yet we have grown roots together. It’s cool how Christ is really the only thing that ties us together in some cases; we literally have nothing in common outside of that. There are so many legit things to do and be in life and I love watching people thrive in so many different ways.
This past weekend entailed entirely different and equally wonderfully Jesus filled shenanigans. Between a weekend church event that was so incredibly good and playing a sweet show with Timbre that was incredibly good, this past weekend was wonderful. There are so many good people here in Nashville, and God has placed me in the midst of them. The quality of people I do church with and make music with is really staggering. I’m so blessed.
And then this weekend I just got back from hanging out with my sister in Savannah, GA. I love my family so much. They know me so well. I recently got to share my whole life story with a friend with no time limit (that’s a really good idea to try out if you’ve never done it before) and in doing so I remembered yet again that my family is super awesome. We’ve had a crazy time thus far, and it’s been so good. We’ve done a lot of things, lived in many places, and our story is unique and to be admired. My family knows me better than anyone, and our success in being a tight family is worth celebrating. Living in different states, it’s a grand occasion whenever we get to spend time together.
Looking at the past three weeks, I’m reminded how good the Lord is to us. I got a lot to be thankful for. There are so many wonderful people in my life who have invested in me and allowed me to spend time with them. Since the very start, in the pivotal seasons, in the present, I am completely in the place God wants me, surrounded by those who are shaping me in a holy way. It’s shocking to see so much of that represented so thoroughly in such a short period of time.
And then tonight I begin my longest stretch of time yet in Nashville not in school. I expect a lot of good things.
