Catching Up With Friends

This is a season of change -- and part of that is to reconnect with friends again, a much-needed and much-appreciated process! Last month, I spent the better part of my time "transiting" emotionally. But this month, I'm much readier to meet people, and reconnecting with friends again has been exceptionally wonderful for my soul.

I realise that I NEED to interact with people, and I need to feel the sense that our lives are intertwined, that we make a difference in each other's lives. I'm an Extrovert that way. I need external stimulus by way of friends. Introverts probably have no clue what I'm talking about, as they're motivated Internally. But as for me, I need that stimulation Externally.

Anyway, the point is, I'm enjoying my friends tremendously -- and filling my social calendar again has been "feeding and healing" for my soul. Thank You, Lord, for friends and for the people in my life whom I can grow together with.

I also had a great time being on worship team yesterday. I enjoyed the creative expression of music, and discovered that in the process of worship, I discover God -- and myself at the same time! Perhaps the irony is that in discovering God, you discover your true identity... what do you think? In Christ, I am complete, and the path to the soul-search is in the worship of God.

"For a day in Thy courts is better than a thousand outside. I would rather stand at the threshold of the house of my God than dwell in the tents of wickedness." (Psalm 84:10)
