friends <3

 3 I thank my God every time I remember you. 4 In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy 5because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now, 6 being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.

 7 It is right for me to feel this way about all of you, since I have you in my heart and, whether I am in chains or defending and confirming the gospel, all of you share in God’s grace with me. 8 God can testify how I long for all of you with the affection of Christ Jesus.

 9 And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, 10 so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless for the day of Christ, 11 filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ—to the glory and praise of God.

- Philippians 1:3-11

This weekend has been a very blessed weekend of fellowship. From Friday’s vulnerability at DukeManna FNF to chatting with CTeam tonight, I feel continually blessed to be here with such a supportive community. Sharing struggles and difficulties with these amazing people makes me realize that I’m not alone on this journey with God. It’s funny how God works in our lives in such parallels, so that when I share my struggles with my brothers and sisters, they share similar stories that bring a peace and calm to my heart.
