some people would say i'm a people person.

Some people would say I'm a people person.  They're probably right.  I LOVE PEOPLE!  I love stories and hearing where people have been.  I love hearing where they think they'll go and where they actually end up being.  I love hearing the good mixed in with the bad.  I love seeing the joy and tears.  I love seeing the struggle and the moment when everything finally comes together.

You see I attach myself to people.  In lots of different ways.  Certain songs will always remind me of certain people.  Different foods will remind me of those who simply could not live with out that sweet taste.  Jokes always remind me of how funny some people are without even knowing it.  Different places will forever be engrained in my mind as a special moment with someone I care about.

Different seasons bring different people. Which is hard cause sometimes I wonder if my memory will ever get too full and I will start to forget some of the memories.  (thankfully I journal).  But even though sometimes I feel as if I might forget, it is the sweetest thing to be standing in a moment and remember.  It brings joy to my heart and a smile to my face that is just irreplaceable.

I love people.


These are the people I've been remembering this week the most.  My walkabout team.  Getting lost, laughing, spooning for warmth, sharing good and hard moments.  All learning from each other the importance of God's place in our lives and how our stories impacted each other.  I miss them.  And would give anything to be in the wilderness with them, all laughing and bundled up in the cold together.
