tonight was incredibly encouraging.
I had some really good conversations with people whom I normally don't talk with - brothers and sisters alike. And for some reason, a few married sisters told me they appreciate me and think I'll be a great husband one day...which was incredibly humbling and flattering- but certainly out of the blue, to say the least.
There might be something in the air I'm missing.
Being able to bless others is a constant goal in my theology/ministry/life. God has given me much, though it's not a liberal amount of monetary things, I am very much drawn to give it back - or away. My time, money, attention, music and thoughts are all containers that I'm constantly giving to other people. I love giving my heart to my family - not in the "give your heart away" pertaining to foolishness - but that they have my affection and full attention.
To have brothers like Tadd, Mike, David and Paul to do ministry with - Accountability with select said dudes + Andrew and Rhett, hang outs with Josh Hardesty and Aaron, very dear brothers like Bryan, Dan and Billy - and to be so privileged to offer them the things I'm able to, that God has given me, is so satisfying and fulfilling.
Then I think about what it's gonna be like to give all this to one person. Everything - the culmination of all that God has made me to be. To pour it out through my heart to the woman of my dreams. That is a wild, exciting, nerve racking thought! I hope it's soon, but I'm ok if it's not - by way of trusting God's sovereign grace.
I'm kinda all over the place - no one continuous thought, but I have to wake up tomorrow and do this all over again in Sandy, for Sunday service. That will be interesting!
I feel good. Praise the Lord.
