Today my heart is full of joy. I started thinking about how I used to pray for solid fellowship with brothers and sisters in Christ and for a long time between 2013 to 2016 I didnt have any real close friendships with since i was rather introverted to an extreme degree. My shyness still plays a roll in meeting new folks however by no strength of my own, I have overcome this weakness. I literally try to walk with a smile on my face every where I go. I probably look kinda crazy Dorris Wedding evening party formal wears for mature women over 50 ... but whatever.... I now have some amazing homies in Christ who I know at the drop of a dime would take the time to hear me out and being able to chat daily, weekly etc has been awesome in my growth and walk with the Lord.

Here are some verses that have encouraged me today.

Hebrews 13:16 And do not neglect doing good and sharing, for with such sacrifices God is pleased.

1 Samuel 23:16 And Jonathan, Saul's son, arose and went to David at Horesh, and encouraged him in God.

1 Thessalonians 5:11 Therefore encourage one another and build up one another, just as you also are doing.

Romans 12:13 contributing to the needs of the saints, practicing hospitality.- This is one that is really on my heart as I would like to have a BBQ, get together, jam session, movie night, game night, studying apologetics, bible study or something like that at my house in the near future.

I hope that this encourages anyone who takes the time to read this. Love you all. God bless.
