roommates.

“In friendship ... we think we have chosen our peers. [But] in reality a few years'
difference in the dates of our births, a few more miles between certain houses, the choice
of one university [over] another ... the accident of a topic being raised or not raised at a
first meeting—any of these chances might have kept us apart. But, for a Christian, there
are, strictly speaking, no chances. A secret master of ceremonies has been at work.
Christ, who said to the disciples, 'Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you,' can
truly say to every group of Christian friends, 'Ye have not chosen one another but I have
chosen you for one another.' The friendship is not a reward for our discriminating …
good taste in finding one another out. [But] it is the instrument by which God reveals to
each of us the beauties of others.” - C.S. Lewis

so so blessed with my roommates this year.
we've only been here for a week and a half
and we already feel like we've known each
other forever.

that doesn't mean that it's not hard.
and that we don't hate each other sometimes.
but it means that the Lord has put us
in apartment c5 for a reason.
and we're here to figure out what all those
reasons and lessons are.

love, j.
