it takes me right back, when i come back around.

visiting coquitlam tonight, i realized how blessed i’ve been to be able to have younger guys at my school and church allow me to come alongside them in their lives in pretty significant ways. for starters, the welcome i got when seen by my small group boys from last year was incredible, as was catching up with jett afterwards. after youth was over, me and david went for a drive, and man am i thanking God for the doors he’s opened up with these guys and the ways in which he lavishes blessings through relationships like these - that, despite the struggles and the mayhem, he is giving me an opportunity to invest myself in things other than myself, and divinely orchestrated so much in these mentorship opportunities. it’s incredible and heartening that he uses broken vessels like me for things of eternal significance.
