Today has been an amazing day of being in relationship. I got to have several phone conversations with friends I love, hearing their process, getting to listen to their hearts. I freaking love that! One friend in particular has been struggling lately and to hear the joy in his heart as he felt God working in and through him was an answer to lots of prayers! Another friend called to talk about the way he experienced God using him in ministry last night and today! He just wanted to share the excitement that comes from feeling God use him.  I had lunch with an incredible friend and partner in ministry who was having a pretty rough day. We got to dream about something big that God is stirring and talk about things that he is looking forward to!  It was so encouraging!  It was so fulfilling. He sent me a text a few minutes ago saying that one of his business meetings this afternoon was with a guy who turned out to be a Christian. They had a cool time together.  God has awesome timing!  Talked to my buddy’s grandma just to see how she was doing and got to help lift her spirits and make a plan to spend some quality time together. I Called my folks and thanked them for all the prayers they have been saying for my friend who I love.  They said it is an honor to pray for him!  That is so awesome!

It’s only 5:51 and more relationship time is waiting.  I get to go grab a beer with a friend I love deeply and have the honor and privilege of being his best man! I cannot wait to connect with him.  After that, I come home to hang with one of my favorite people introduced to me by another one of my favorite friends.  I freaking love this motha and can’t wait to hear about his life! What a day! What a beautiful day! I am so thankful.  I know who is the author of all this connection and privilege!  Thank you Jesus! I love getting to love the people you bring into my life! Wow, what a joy!
