Unique

Tonight was the last night of Illuminate for the school year. Eight seniors savored every moment of their very last evening at illuminate. One by one the seniors got up to give advice to the rest of us youngins. The amount of truth and wisdom that was shared by each senior was so powerful. Scripture was read and stories were told and each senior had something unique to say. One girl advised us to come to God with everything. With our joy, happiness, our heart ache , and pain. Another senior told us to do everything as if doing it for the Lord. ( This included school....not easy to hear) Seniors continued to share the wisdom they had learned over their four years of high school and every bit of it was beautiful. After each one shared we had the chance to lay hands on them and send them out in prayer. We celebrated a successful year of illuminate with foamy root beer floats and spent the rest of the evening laughing lots (which is normal for Tuesday nights). As I was driving home in the rain I was blown away by how unique and completely different every person and every situation is. I know its been said a million times and I've heard people give long talks about how God created each of us differently and how unique we are but its true were all so...different. Anyway, while I was on my way home I saw these two girls from Illuminate who I dont know at all walking home in the cold rain. I offered them a ride and they politely said "We're alright" but after finding out how far away they lived, I insisted. They got in and introduced them selves to me and were extremely polite. One was a freshman and the other a junior. I wasn't planning on having anything in common with either of them but it turned out we were all terrible with directions and love bunnies. Our mutual sympathy for bunnies was quickly discovered right after I nearly plastered a bunny. We all screamed and talked about how dreadful it would have been to actually crush the poor animal. We found their bright blue trailer home and as they got out I was again reminded at the beauty and creativity of my majestic God. I am blessed to know so many completely different and beautiful people. God is good.
