Sleepovers

Note to self: Invest in sleepovers at any age. There’s nothing like late-night heart to hearts, and coffee together in a kitchen filled with morning light. Nothing like the comfort and faithfulness of a long-time friend in times of turbulence. Nothing like fellowship in suffering - where you can see the color and form of your friend’s tears beyond a blue & white text message, and hear the glorious major chords of her leaning on Jesus in her present suffering. Nothing like seeing all her various battle wounds in this season, that she was hiding behind a video screen. 

This is why the church is, for lack of a better word, “essential.”
