It’s funny how I don’t realize how much I miss and need Cru until it starts again.
There’s something about just being around all those wonderful, Godly people that brightens my mood and raises my optimism. When I’m without them, things go negative (see previous post) and my attitude about everything completely changes. It’s crazy how affected I was by just a week without those connections…I wonder how summer will be. Clearly I'll need to keep in better touch with all of them.
God has placed some really incredible people in my life this year, and I think I may be taking advantage of that by not taking advantage of it. That probably is as nonsensical as it sounds, but what I mean by that is I see these strong-faithed (according to Firefox I just made that word up) people multiple times a week but I haven't really gotten to know most of them. Sure, I have met an awesome roommate for next year and met one very good friend at the beginning of the year that figured me out faster than anyone ever has before, but most of the rest I just know on the surface, in a "hey how are your classes going" kind of way. All year I've had such a strong desire to get to know one person in particular (I'm not going to elaborate on whom that is or why) and though I still haven't, I want to know everyone else, too.
The reason behind that is probably because I also desire to be known. I want to know and be known. I want to love and be loved. The Lord has given me these people to spend my time with, to know, to love, and that's what I want to do more than anything else.
