I am blessed.
At Christmas Conference I roomed with Drew Kirch and it was great! I am just so thankful to the Lord for bringing him into my life. We just “hit it off” you might say. Every day we would have devotions together, and most of the time ate our meals together. We were able to get in the Word with each other and just be guys, and enjoy each other’s time. I’ve been seeking more older guy friendships in my life, and this friendship with Drew came at the perfect time for me.
After Christmas Conference I really felt like the Lord wanted me to pursue a deeper and more intentional friendship with Drew, and not just leave it at the conference. (You ever have those friends at camp that you spend your whole week with, and get to know and love them, and then when the week is over you go your separate ways? If you have, then you know what I’m talking about.) I prayed about it and asked the Lord to guide me towards this friendship if He willed it. I felt an urgency to go for it so I did.
Drew and I meet every Tuesday (and sometime Thurs) morning for breakfast and we talk about life and just get in the Word together. In order to do this every Tuesday I have to sacrifice my precious sleep in order to spend time with Drew. It’s really hard, but the fruits of it are amazing, so it’s totally worth it. It’s really great, and the Lord has just been great at blessing our friendship and time together. We are each at our own level of maturity in our walks with Christ, but we are both growing and learning through each other, so it’s great to see the Gospel lived out in each of our lives. I wanted to share this, cuz this is what God is doing in my life right now, and I pray that He would continue to work in and through myself and Drew. Not to us, but to His Name be the Glory.
