One of the things college has done for me is allow me to realize the importance of relationships. I never truly understood how much of an impact interpersonal relationships can have on a person until I was hours away from those people I truly care for.

Though my family is the most important, what I'm really talking about here is friendships with fellow believers. I was just reminded over the weekend how good it is to be in the company of those you care so deeply for. Nothing can ever replace true community once it has been shared with other believers. And just to sit again in the presence of those you have laughed and cried with is one of the greatest opporitunites found on earth.

I pray we will never again take for granted the special relationships God has formed in our lives.
