friends are refreshing. i decided to go to onething montgomery last minute and i'm really thankful i went. the lord has beyond blessed me with amazing friends. absolutely amazing. most of them i havent even known that long. maybe 3 years, yet our spirits are so connected and i have a deep love for them all. they are truly my brothers and sisters. 

on saturday night, after spending a few hours in the park and eating a home cooked meal, i rode with jordan mahy back to the church where the conference was held. as we were driving we were talking about loving the poor. and in matthew when jesus says that if you do it for the least of these, you do it for Me. i was sharing with him two experiences ive heard from heidi baker and a girl here at ihop about how when they were holding a child in a third world country and when they looked into the child's eyes they had significant encounters with the lord. both of them said they saw jesus. 

poor, needy, broken, meek, lowly... that's jesus. 

while we were talking about this it literally felt like the holy spirit blew on us. at the same time we just started going crazy and laughing so hard! it was so great. i havent felt the presence of the holy spirit where it literally touches you and you have no control in a long time. those are the best. that little touch really refreshed me. 

and made me realize there is a lot more to loving the poor than i even know. i think jesus was in complete agreement with our conversation and wanted to testify to it by sending his spirit. 

verse i've been thinking about:

now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in christ and through us manifests the fragrance of His knowledge in every place. 2 cor 2:14

christ in me, the hope of glory, literally is manifesting a smell concerning the truth of who He is from my life. that is crazzzzy awesome.
