A bushel of babies

I miss my middle school girls! (and the boys, I miss them too)
I haven't seen my darlings all week!
I had to miss Bible study on Tuesday, because I had an orientation for my school courses, which is good, because I needed to get started! I'm two months behind right now! But it stinks that I had to miss Bible study! (Gosh, I could use prayer to finish up my schooling quickly!)

Which brings me to my second set of babies (as I like to call them) whom I miss. With the awesome title of Food Services Assistant Crew Chief, comes the priveledge of hanging out with CIT's, not only in the summer, but during training weekends aswell! I must say, they're genuine excitement just to meet one another inspires me. From upstairs I could hear the girls all squealing in the hallway below, and hugging, and loving one another. It was the first time they'd met, for crying out loud!
I have to wonder, why don't we feel that same way whenever we meet someone new? I know that these kids have one beautiful thing in common, being that they all have a love for the Lord (which is an AWESOME thing to have in common!) but what about people who don't know Him?
Why are we not excited upon meeting them that we get a chance to love this person? We get a chance to meet another person our God has created! (we all have that in common too, hey! We've all been made by our God, and not only that, He's got an awesome plan for us!)




I want to be more excited when I meet new people. Filled with an excitement that I get to share my life with them. Filled with an excitement that I will learn about Him through those friendships, and that they will aswell.
