my awkward Grouplink experience.

wow. wow. wow. i am speechless. today was a great day.

Hung out at the P's for the afternoon and stayed for dinner!

Then, the most awkward thing i have probably ever done. i went to Grouplink at Northpoint to join a small group.

hung out with a friend when i first arrived then i went into the room to meet the peeps. awkward. no one talked to me. so i left.

as i was walking out i decided to stay. so i went to the bathroom, gathered myself together and then walked back in.

right as i was walking in i saw a girl, close to my age, and followed her. ha

as i was following her i noticed she had a tag on her bag that said 410 Bridge. i knew we would be friends. we introduced ourselves and then i met her friends. we have mutual friends and have similar passions in life.

her two friends she was with were pretty great too. i figured i would just stick with them.

then, about 10 of us young girls found each other and formed a group, found a leader and got started. it was great. so great. i am so excited to do life with these girls. wow. i need them.

so as i was leaving i was talking to the girl, Alyson is her name and we were exchanging numbers and when she realized my last name she started freaking out. i had no idea why but was like okay. i asked her what was going on and she explained to me how she had coffee with Michele Stanford who works at Inside Out. Michele told her about me that morning and said we needed to meet because we would be best friends. wow. i was in awe.

i am constantly in awe of how God pieces every single little detail of my life together EXACTLY how He wants it. He takes my moments of fear or doubt and turns them into His perfect plan. He continually shows me His grace and His perfect love that He has for me. wow.

I am excited to walk with these sisters and begin to allow God to be the center of our friendships. we all desire community and we all desire to be in relationship with others.

so today marks a day i will never forget. another time God provided for me and another time He showed me more of who He is by working all things together for my good.

thank you Jesus for who you are. to You be the glory.
