Adding up
Going to a church and feeling like you have come home…being challenged by the message…feeling Christ tug on your heart once more…realizing in a fresh way how astounding the cross is.
Spending two hours on the phone with your mother…finding that you have reached a point where you can relate as friends…sharing little details of your life and laughing together, seeing how great this relationship can be.
Spontaneously walking over to a friend’s room and eating her food…talking about God, boys, God, and then God again…pouring out our hearts over chicken and salsa and feeling renewed as the rain patters down outside.
Taking a walk through campus and feeling chilly for the first time…skipping and laughing at little things…singing silly songs and just enjoying each other’s friendship…hopping into a friend’s car and being goofy at the Wendy’s drive-through.
Sleeping late on a Monday and enjoying a long shower…walking over to join friends and eat homemade chili…letting our insides warm up as we think about the cold, blustery wind outside…curling up on an unmade bed piled with blankets, cozy in a hoodie and fuzzy socks…watching the trees sway outside the window.
All of these things add up….
“And my soul wells up with Hallelujahs.”
