Precious People

Family is not made up of blood, flesh, or genetics. Family is made up in the body of Christ. Those who I consider my brothers and sisters are not physically related to me. They are the ones I have met here at IBC. And they are the ones I look to in times of trouble. They are the ones I need. That is the greatest thing I've experienced through my relocation to Indianapolis.


It's no secret that the last seven months of my life have been the hardest time I have every been through. I dealt with sickness, death, failure, and a hundred more things. But had I not had an older brother to watch after me and protect me, or had I not had a sister that let me sleep on the floor of her room for three weeks straight, or had I not another sister who stayed up every night with me until 4 or 5 am because I couldn't sleep, or had I not had a sister offer financial help to get me home during that extremely trying time in my life....the list goes on and on. Had I not had these people, or have these people, I don't know where I'd be right now.


I am blessed. Without these people, I have no idea where I'd be at this point in my life. They kept me, and continue to keep me. They never told me to "get over it" like others implied. They are sensitive to what my heart is feeling. They get it. And they love me just the same.


Josh warned me of this. Told me that the friendships I make while at IBC, will stay with me forever. And I honestly thank God every day for those four distinct people in my life...and hope they know who they are. They listen to me vent, and don't always say anything. I love them with all my heart, and can't wait to see where our friendships go in the future.


Thanks guys! You're all precious people.
