I have had the pleasure of living in a house with girls that I am not particularly, er, um, naturally close with. But is has been so FUN! For, in the house are ladies that are so full of life!! We are each different and complementary in the funnest ways!
There is a scientist explorer, creative artisan, outspoken activist, people person, and myself.
It makes for interesting conversations to say the least.
The other day I was excited after we concluded a conversation because it allowed for each of us to shine and to depend on the others. We were talking about something simple like fast fashion that one of the girls had been studying for her Honors seminar. That then connected to the ecological implications and business implications of it. We then connected those to convictions and religious sentiments behind it.
I sat back amazed because I had been praying for almost a year for the Lord to do His will among the house. In small things like this I see so much promise. The connection between class, friendship, and faith collide. I learn how my faith can be acted out realistically through serious issues like abstaining from fast fashion, and they can see how those actions connect directly to faith. In connection to these things, too, we all saw more readily than ever the connection both faith and our choices have to play in our future of the planet.
I thought I would share because it was extremely encouraging to have this conversation. I look forward to having more like this in the future!!! Thankful!!!
