I love community. One of the things I am so excited about is that for a whole year I’ll never be alone. To most people that sounds terrible, but i think it sounds marvelous. Right this very second, I’m writing this post while watching tv and chillen on my couch. My parents are gone and I’m feeling quite lazy. I hate just sitting around and doing nothing. 

It is the worst.

I realize that these are the days I won’t miss. I won’t miss wasting my day away. I won’t miss being unproductive and lazy. Yes, there are days that I need rest, but I feel like I’m always just sitting around. 

I’m not going to miss waiting for my life to happen.

I am overflowing with excitement about the race. I am ready to meet new people and bond on deep spiritual levels. I am excited to feel like I am needed everyday. I can’t wait to learn new things about God that I never thought about before. 

You need community for that. 

I don’t want my highlight of the day to be I got new acne medicine (yay but lame). I want my highlight to be Jesus did something crazy in my life today or my whole team bonded more because of an experience we had today. 

I just know that in the future I won’t remember today, but I’ll remember everyday of the year I spread the gospel with strangers who became family.
