Ruth 1:16

Don't urge me to leave you or turn back from you. Where you go I will go, and where you stay I will stay

"You know what goes well with hot chocolate?

Some Chris Brown."

"Why you living in Oakland girl?
Cause I Cat Daddy when I Dougie!!"

Let me just tell you all how fantastic my living situation is here. I have 4 roommates and we all co-host when groups come. These women are amazing and all unique. It's been so fun to hear all of their stories and see how God has molded each of us for this time in our lives. The most fascinating part of this living situation is that we are all Christians, yet we don't agree on all things. So this has given us room for discussion in our beliefs. Everyone is pretty open and most nights bring about discussion of the Bible or God. It's interesting to hear the perspectives we all have and challenging as well. What do I believe and why? I've been dubbed a "conservative" Christian by a few people here so far, but my beliefs come solely from the Bible.

It's a neat concept too, in that we share so much of our lives with one another.  We openly discuss past experiences and reflect upon them with one another.  Last night three of us went to In-N-Out Burger and spent the time there discussing if we had "mommy" or "daddy" issues (of which I have both, haha) and how those effect our lives and how we've dealt with them.  It's just a great environment in which to process with one another openly in a way that I've never experienced before.  I don't feel like I have to be guarded with these girls, but that I can bring everything to the table.

We spend nights laughing about our groups, Cat Daddying, watching the Office, sharing book reviews, and praying for one another.  Such an interesting life style that I would never have pictured myself a part of, and once again God shocks me with His wonders.
