2. You can be drawn into a theological conversation just by walking down the hall- I don't think a day goes by here without someone debating or discussing some meaningful type subject matter. I love that we engage in good conversation on a regular basis.
3. Studying/Reading together in the living room - Its easier to do your homework when 3 other people are sitting next to you doing theirs. This is also helpful when you need someone to edit your papers or keep you focused.
4. Pancake Fridays - Gloria gets up and makes pancakes for everyone every Friday morning. Its the best.
5. Sunday night dinner and devotions - I love when we all gather together and help prepare a meal. Everyone contributes whatever ingredients they have and we all eat and then do devotions together.
6. Hearing everyones story - Lately, instead of devotions we have been going through each member of the house and hearing their life story. I think its a great way to connect with each other more and I've loved hearing about everyones life and being able to share about mine.
7. Borrowing clothes - I love that when I am running low on clean laundry, I can step across the hall and grab something to throw on. Communal clothing is a huge plus to living with these girls.
8. Sharing food - Sometimes, people make too much of something or are just feeling generous and we get some tasty morsels that we didn't even cook ourselves!
9. Musicians - There are many musicians in this house. I love the sound of guitar and piano and singing wafting through the house and I love that we can use them for worship times as well.
10. Learning more about Jesus - Through the relationships here and through the way we are learning and growing, I am seeing more and more about what Jesus wants us to be and how to love more like He loves us. Everyone here is such a blessing and everyone reveals something else about the nature of God.
This is a beautiful post Rebecca and I fully fully agree.
ReplyDeleteAlso, should borrow some of your clothes sometimes.
