Connected

A few months ago I wrote a blog about how crazy I was about Gavin Degraw. I was fortunenough toget to see him again for the 5th time on Tuesday night with some awesome girls. (More to come-- Tomorrow)

I titled this blog connected for that very reason. The awesome girls that I got to share this night with-- the night I and they will never forget. I was in the Gavin Degraw fan club for a year my sophomore year in college. I loved it. I met these amazing fans from all over the world who had the same if not more love for Gavin that I did. Fast forward 2 and 1/2 years later, no longer apart of the fan club, and I'm still talking to these girls like I never left. Half of you are reading this like-- yep, I knew she was crazy. And that's ok!

But what I've been thinking about ever since leaving that concert is that so many of my closest friends are Christians and we are connected through something much bigger than Gavin Degraw and his name is Jesus, yet that bond gets so overshadowed by life's daily hassles. My prayer this week and what seems like it will be forever is that God will constantly remind people and me of the bond he created for us to have and that we actually utilize that bond. Because if it's anything like the bond I have with the Gavin Girls it has to be amazing because these girls constantly remind me to never give up, push for my dreams, to have fun, and to be honest. It's a connection I am forever grateful to have and it's a connection I hope to start creating in other areas of my life.

here's a teaser for the after concert showdown blog tomorrow....... I even got stiff armed by some lady! but know I prevailed in the end!!
