When I say that I get to hang out with an incredible group of high school girls on Wednesday nights, I really mean that they are incredible. I mean, ask probing questions and expect to get legitimate answers sort of incredible. I mean accept each other just where they are sort of incredible. I mean juggle the linguistic needs of an ESL (English as a Second Language) exchange student and and ESL (English Sign Language) speaker while actively engaging in the discussion sort of incredible. And, I mean sitting and waiting while someone cries out a story sort of incredible.
There were a lot of tears tonight, because, sometimes, life just sucks.
But, they loved each other through it, and, in the end, that was the part that mattered. That was what made them incredible. Because, moments where we choose to love are moments where we choose to live like Christ.
Even Jesus wept.
