I miss deep fellowship that is rooted in knowing each other well and caring for each other genuinely. I miss the feeling of being known. It's unfortunate that most people that I'm meeting these days only know about my life post college, which isn't long or terribly exciting and much too confusing for me to even articulate it in a way that would make sense to someone who I haven't known very long. So much of what God is doing in my life is affected by what he has done in years past and how He's shaping me and changing me and challenging me. How do you convey that to people? I'm realizing that post college is a hard time for external processors who don't really open up to people unless they know those people genuinely care.

Transitions, hard.

Building true community, harder.

Three steps forward, two steps back. Stop. Weigh the options. Get frustrated. Give frustration to God. Repeat the process.

Patience. patience. patience. patience.
