alone
So, I just got out of our meeting that went until 11:45pm. ugh.
Sometimes I feel like even though there are SO many people here, so many residents I know and hang out with, a boyfriend, a small group, and campus ministry, I still feel alone at times. Today was one of them. Generally it's not that i'm not spending time with people, it's that the time spent "together" is not really together. Instead it's computer time or video game time or an awkward getting-to-know-you time. I think that a majority of the time spent with people is so lacking that it's not quality time. We need more quality time with people, and when we are spending time with others, we need to really be spending time with them. We need to make sure we value the people in our lives because you never know what's going to happen and we don't want to live with any regrets.

Hey Sarah!,
i read your post and it so struck a chord with me. because, in part, i think, I have watched two movies lately that so spoke to that. End of the Spear and Click. Click's message after all the moronic humor, was when your somewhere, be there. And the shortness of life in End of the spear. I have a Jim Elliot quote on my quote wall "Wherever you are, be all there. Live to the hilt every situation you believe to be the will of God." The same Jim Elliot that also once said, “He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose."
hang in there Kiddo, nothing is perfect this side of Heaven or else we may forget our deep need for Jesus!
Peace,
Craig
