Many things...

[_consectatio]

First things first...I love Christmas so much! It's such a fun time, and it always makes me feel happy. Not just Christmas either, but pretty much all of winter! This year though, I've hardly even noticed that it's coming. It's already the 23rd, and I don't even feel like Christmas is coming. I'm not excited, I'm not eager...I just feel like I'm

Aaron, my friend. Thank you so much for the kind words. So much of the growth you may see in me actually has come from exactly what you were talking about, by leading. There have been times when I may not want to sit down and pray or have a quiet time, yet knowing that I am a leader and (according to the Bible) will be judged more harshly, its COMPLETLY held me accountable to time with Jesus. Im SO stoked to be working with you this coming up semester in serving and ministering to the kids. I think I heard you might go to Timber Creek.. but Im gonna see what status I have in this joint and see if I can get you to Highland. We need cool guys that have a genuine heart for the Lord :) Anyway, I hope you have a great Christmas and I cant wait to chill with ya when we all get back. God bless buddy.

Hey brother! Thanks for the shout out... man i'm so glad that I got to know you more this year. What a great guy, and an encouragement. I know we all have our good times and hard times but you know you always have a friend in me and can call me anytime about anything. And I will be there to help carry your burdens, as I know you would be for me. Thanks for being strong, even if you don't think you are sometimes.

Much Love,

Justin!!!

Hi A-Ron,
Buddy, I miss you. I know we've haven't really had the time to catch up recently or anything like that...but just know that you've been in my prayers.

I'm excited to grow closer to the Lord, too. --Well, sorry I gotta get goin. Just wanted to thank you for everything you said. I'm excited to see ya! Bye bye

Wow, I can't believe that our 8 minutes of interaction, though extremely quality, merited a shoutout in your journal. I feel so honored and nearly speechless, which takes a lot for me (ask anyone I know). haha! Anyhow, thanks for your kind words. What a nice person you are. I think that somebody has the gift of encouragement!!!!:) Also, thanks for being real. It's so hard, especially in the Christian world to not pretend like everything is perfect and fine and wonderful. I mean we have Jesus, and something must be seriously wrong with our relationship with him if everything isn't perfectly perfect- WRONG! We are all struggling. I doubt and struggle every single day and appreciate the fact that you are able and willing to admit that also. mmmmm... transparancy is a beautiful thing! So glad we can all walk through junk together! Friendship is also a beautiful thing:) Stay cool!

Merry Christmas

Thanks for sayin all that. That's really awesome. And you have been a huge encouragement to me and to a lot of people I know. I have seen your desire and am very very impressed. I think we definitely need to start hangin out more. Have a Merry Christmas.
