It has been a couple of days since my last post. This is because some friends from high school were visiting as they passed through Asheville on a little road trip. And let me just say, it was an amazing couple of days with these friends! These two guys, Billy and Matt, totally get what it means to be a servant and full of God's love.
The boys came in on Monday night. We relaxed, caught up on life, and talked for hours. Both guys are crazy smart and they challenged me in many ways. I absolutely love those kinds of conversations. On Tuesday I had to work during the day, but the boys set out for a day of exploring the beautiful city of Asheville, or so I thought.
But when I got home from work, I came in to find
1) My apartment cleaner than when they had gotten here
2) My vacuum cleaner fixed!
3) And a huge, delightful dinner for my roommate and I
4)And they gifted me with a French Press because I had randomly mentioned how much I would love to have one... WOOHOOO!
Amazing. period. I honestly felt so loved by my dear friends. And then the next day we set out to hike the highest peak east of the Mississippi, Mt. Mitchell. It was HARD. I am SO sore. And these guys are pretty intense when it comes to the outdoors. But they helped me the whole way. And we were able to have such GREAT conversations as we hiked 5.6 miles up to the top, and then 5.6 miles down (oh and we kind of got off track coming down- but it was so fun because we found blubs, or blueberries!) My body is killing me today- but I had the best time yesterday.
While the guys were here, I was totally immersed in the Love of God. They served my roommate and I so well, and I am completely grateful. I want to serve others the way these two have served me. I desire to be as generous as these two were. And I desire the real, honest fellowship we indulged ourselves in for the time they were here. Thank you Matt & Billy.
