I am tired of seeing "That awkward moment when..." posted all over Facebook. I admit that they can be funny to read, and I certainly see the value of documenting and remembering important moments. But awkward ones? I would rather focus on the unexpected, wonderful, sweet and precious moments. Here are some of those moments from the past few weeks...
That wonderful moment when...
An unplanned car ride turns into a great discussion about faith and family and the future with your best friend.
You get to celebrate the engagement of two great friends.
You arrive home to a clean house after a long trip away and finally get to sleep in your own bed.
The evening sky is the perfect blend of blue, purple, pink and gold.
You have the first In-N-Out burger, steak, salad, bowl of macaroni and cheese, etc. after eating foreign food for what seems like forever.
You find out that some other friends are finally moving back to the area. Yay!
You share a meal, laughter, and great conversation with a group of people you are blessed to do life with.
You get to see how much the students you work with have grown and that they really love one another and desire to serve.
You get to sit and share your feelings with someone who really cares and makes you feel heard.
You learn more about who you are through looking at the events and circumstances that have happened in your life.
You realize that the place you resisted and resented for over a year finally has finally started to feel like home.
You realize that God is working in your life, even though you have tried to fight and ignore it. It may be slow and sometimes painful, and happen in ways you didn't expect, but He is there, just like He promised He would be. And He has given you all these wonderful moments as proof that He absolutely adores you.
