I had a chance to hang out with a guy from our church today. What a great time I had! I’m one of these crazy people that is really shy, so sometimes it’s hard for me to get out there and hang out with people. The sad reality is, that’s a big part of my profession. But, today was a really great time. I have so much to learn and to be honest I learned a lot today. There are days that I get way ahead of myself and trade intelligence for inexperience. But this guy has been through some tough situations and is really a great example. He’s a great worker and a great manager. There are some really important lessons I need to learn here. He also appears to be a great father and husband, and those are some things I am rapidly approaching. So, if you read this, you know who you are and I appreciate you more than you know. You really inspired me a lot today!

I am a really shy person and have a hard time opening up in public. Justin showed me that praying in public and giving thanks to our Jesus for our food was not something to be ashamed of. If anything I took the greatest pride in him blessing our food in a public place and learned no matter what anyone thinks I want them to see I am in love with Jesus. I also learned that no matter how much life throws ar me there are those people that really do care and in return I have begun to greatly care about them, their lives, hobbies, intrests. In closing I learn from this Guy every Sunday about how to show my love openly. For the first time tonight because of You I raised my hands in church and wasn’t afraid and released everything I had inside of me. I appreciate everything you do and the experience you bring us but most of all for taking time out of your schedule to do something I never get to do and that is hang out with friends.

Dude, that is so awesome. Sharing that has inspired and motivated me also. I read all the time about not living in fear, but when we are ashamed to share Jesus, we are living in fear! I wish we could all be an example (especially publicly) to how much we love Jesus. I am so glad to have you guys as family.
