I should be 16 again

I'm not sure I have much to say, but I feel guilty for not writing much lately (as if anyone actually reads this). The last couple of weeks have been pretty restful. There just isn't much to say. I have been working, playing and trying to figure out what's next. I haven't had any huge epiphanies of any kind.

I have, however, seen some pretty remarkable stuff. In particular I have been witness to a really cool relationship. I have seen what it looks like to practically love another. I have seen this in a friendship between two high school girls. Most people would not guess that two teenage girls would be able to get outside themselves enough to be able to truly love another, but there girls have figured it out. They care for each other in a cool way. I am constantly amazed at how well they push into each other's weakness and share their hearts with one another. There girls aren't particularly special. They are pretty typical 16 year olds. Busy with school, family stuff, and extracurriculars. What is unique about them is that they are very pure hearted and have a very real relationship with the Lord. They both admit that they are needy. I think that is why they are able to connect in such a tangible way.
Watching these two girls relate over the past year has taught me a lot about friendship and loving people. I'm not sure I can put into words what I have seen or how it works, because loving others doesn't fit into a formula. I think the basis of all of it is a freedom from Christ to not fear other people's messes. Other people's messes are scary...they require a lot of work. I hate working that much. It's true. There are some people who just require too much work with not enough reward to be involved in their lives. That's why I need Jesus, because I don't want to do the work. That's what these girls have found-Jesus and how He works in us to really love others.
