fellowship

It's funny, this fellowship thing. I was just talking the other day to a really good friend of mine that I don't get to see as much as I'd like to. I can remember that we used to be really close and then her life changed. She got married and I thought that that meant no more relationship. I remember thinking that everything was going to HAVE to be different. It was like I finally came to the understanding, two months after her being married, that she wanted fellowship with me just as much as I did with her. I just love the way God works because the time I didn't have with her, God showed me so much about relationship and then brought us back together and she has basically, over the past month, regurgitated what God had shown me. I absolutely love her and am so glad she is who she is today. Yeah, her last named changed and she can't do everything I want her to anymore - but it's not about me. That's the beauty of it, loving each other through EVERYTHING. Just because there's a change in the relationship doesn't mean that there has to be a lack of fellowship. Just calling each other. I'm telling you, it's the only thing that I hate about church in the house is the lack of fellowship with certain people. But then again it shows me that it's my responsibility to do my part. No, I don't get my "weekly fix" of those people. I have to take the initiative to do that. Ok, I should stop now, I know this is probally confusing you. I just know exactly what the fellowship thing is all about, and I know what He's done in me. I can't tell you enough how God really is faithful and steadfast. Ok, I must stop before I confuse you anymore.

Okay now I'm officially going to feel like a copycat.. I read BJ's blog and thought that I might write something about fellowship.. now I read yours, and I want to do it even more. Or maybe I'll just collaborate my comments on ya'lls blogs.

You're not confusing me! But that's only because we've already had this conversation.. haha.. I would say more.. but I'm just going to blog it..

yeah bekah- i know you're a copy cat. And it's good that you blog it since how you NEVER update your blog anymore. And don't give me the line "I have a life and other things to do" so do we! No, I'm just joking with you.
And Bj- I do think that you could actually put it better than I did but we can leave it like it is...:D
