Well, it has been a very long time since I have written on this, and I'm pretty sure its not a popular place to get information, but it could be cool to just vent and write thoughts out and if someone feels like reading it then so be it, and if not, no worries...

A lot has changed and transitions have been affecting my life a ton. From relationships, to locations, to vocation, a lot has changed and I find myself trying to catch up with changes that are already happening.

I have talked to a lot a friends from college, and things just seem to be a lot different out of college than in. (duh), but it is a lot more profound than that. The community that you find yourself in 27-7 is now gone and the community that you are now in is nothing like the one that you left. Common ground and understanding is something that needs to be searched for and pursued instead of just living in it. I guess you could coin it "convenient community" is lost and all of the new community is deliberate and way more pursued.

Community is something that we are all apart of, and it is something that we all need. We are created for community, we are created for relationship, and different ones come with different chapters of life.

I guess when everything changes, and people are put into a place that is like home, they run to the places that they know are safe, the go back to what they know...

For me, it is beyond comforting to know that I can run to people who know me, I can run to a savior who knows me know and would still die for me.

All in all, this isn't something to making you think all deep, it is more of a reminder that it is natural to want to be in community, and that the greatest community that you can ever have is with Jesus.

Blessings.
