living together

lauren is still here. it has been an amazing week. at first, i think i saw her visit as a sort of rescue mission for her crappy situation. now i'm amazed at what this week has done for me. it has been amazing to really live with another person for the last week. she's come with me to have coffee with girls, to club, to get my car inspected. there is something so right about it. i think i've gotten a taste of the type of community god wants for us. just a little taste, but it's really sweet :) she teaches me a lot about seeing and illuminating the good in others and about being real. she also maybe "does younglife" better than anyone i know. i just love it. and i'm so grateful for her time here.
