Grace (both kinds)

So my beautiful, grammar perfect roommate Grace graduated today! I'm so proud of her because I know how much she hated school and how much she didnt want to hang out with Christians when she came to Winthrop. Luckily Jesus changed her mind about the friends thing and we've tolerated each other for 4 years! I thought a lot today about Winthrop, obviously. I realized how creative Jesus is and Him giving me some truly awesome friends was His best move. Grace and I have nothing in common. Well, except we both like manly men who talk about pizza and we watch cash cab and any dumb movie on ABC Family together. She only knows what I tell her about sports and for some reason acts like she doesnt want to kill herself when I go on about the Yankees for an hour. Truth is I wouldn't have had a chance at sanity this year if it weren't for my roommates. It's been a great year, but it's mostly thanks to all the fun we've had in our house so far. I've seen the Lord work in awesome ways through those 2 girls and He has really worked on the Cabin. What I've learned through them and especially having such diverse friends is that REAL friendship doesn't work without Jesus. The kind of friendship that is deep and worth anything can't function without Him. I love living with and around people who are different than me. It pushes me to see the creativeness in the creator and how blessings pour out from the weirdest places. Before Grace stabs me in my sleep, I'm gonna stop talking about sentimental things that give her attention. Sorry roomie, I loves you!
