Sometimes you just gotta have lunch

Wednesday.  It's always my full, crazy, busy day.  In general I am always stressed.  Yesterday was no different.  That morning I had gone through three classes feeling sick to my stomach because of how much I was thinking I needed to do.  Finally after choir I felt better... enough to get food.

As I walked to get food I grabbed my Bible and a Piper book... intent on still being "productive" while eating.  But planned out ideas hardly ever go your way.

I saw Jeremiah eating outside... put my stuff down, got food.  Sat down and started talking about God.  Five minutes later there three more people from choir and we were talking music.  For those first few minutes of talking I was stressed... I had to get away, I needed to practice, study.  I was wasting time.

But slowly I forgot about what I "needed" to do and became more engaged in making friends and just being alive.

An hour later the four of us parted ways... knowing each other better after having laughed, talked, and eaten for sixty minutes.  I walked away with a smile on my face and energy in my step.  I was reminded that... sometimes you just gotta have lunch.  Thanks Jeremiah, Collin, and Jordan.  Needed that lunch and people time... thanks for reminding me to live life and make new friends. :)
