Friends. Friends. Friends.


FRIENDS . FRIENDS . FRIENDS
We have been blessed beyond belief by the people that God has put in our lives.  We have had so much fun this last month!  It continues to amaze me how well God knows us and what we need.  I mean… I know God knows me, but I love how He knows me even better than I know myself.  He has placed people in our lives for this very season.
He has given us neighbors that love the Lord and are a great encouragement!  It is so fun having them next door and we look forward to spending more time with them… our time together is filled with great conversation and lots of laughing (something we all need!).  And a shout out to Erica for her enchiladas that were ‘off the chain’ and sweet tea that rivals Chicken Express… success!
He has also given us some friends who are in the same season of life as us.  It has been fun to talk about the first year of marriage and exchange funny stories!  We love having some couples to hang out with.
We can so easily get caught up in our schedules and everything that’s on our ‘To-Do’ list… but we cannot forget about people.  Everyone can get busy and overwhelmed… but we all need community.  James and I are pretty scheduled out… but we continually remind ourselves that it is worth it to live life with people and make a point to plan things out.  Every time we have dinner or go bowling or make a late night sonic run with friends… we are refreshed and encouraged!
PEOPLE ARE WORTH IT
Who are you investing in?
Who needs some encouragement?
We are blessed by each of you in our lives – thank you for loving us so well!
