family
it's amazing how after 5 years, i can go to a house, see my friends' parents and feel like i'm part of the family. it's amazing how after 5 years, we're still carrying on with one another, doing the things that we enjoy together.
it's amazing how after 4 years, we're still doing what we do best, being together as a family. how we enjoy meals together, and spend time talking and being merry in front of hot burning coals of a barbeque pit. we're not who we started out, a small group of believers seeking God. we're now a big group of believers living the purpose that God has set for us, to fellowship in his presence. we're family.
it's amazing how after 6 years, we still meet up frequently and do the craziest of things. we've grown in numbers over the years, but it doesnt matter, we still stick together when we need to, as brothers. nothing can break that bond that we share, even the number of girls we go through, or the number of drinks we share. we fight and be mad for seconds, and we laugh it off soon after.
it's been 10 years, and i've never imagined myself being part of your lives again. constant dinners and celebrations, doing stupid things at 2 in the morning. a new season is beginning, and i see it going a long way.
where will we all be 10 years down the road, when we're all married with our own children? i see us sitting around the table, discussing how everything has gone on for the last year, catching up on the things in life, talking about our children.
these are the people that make up my life, all from different walks of life, different stages in life too. being part of the different families bring joy to my life. i really couldnt ask for more. i thank you all for the good times and the bad times, where we've grown together in different aspects. there is more to come, and every year as we grow closer, there will be more that we share together.
life will be meaningless without the people that we can call family. thanks.
