I moved out of my parents' house! Crazy, I know. And my lease on my new apartment starts Thursday, so I actually am crashing at Stephanie's apartment until then. Her roommates are pretty cool. One of them took us to her Bible study yesterday, where our group resolution, broadly speaking at least, was to pray for "the soil" and to be better soil. We read next week's Gospel, in which Jesus tells the parable of the seeds that fall on the rocky soil and the good soil and the thorns. I had always read that passage thinking of myself as the seed, but we are also the soil for others. We can provide people with a good, loving foundation in the Truth, or we can get them excited about Jesus without any real understanding, or we can actively discourage their faith or choke their faith right out of them. So my prayer is that we can all be better soil for others, especially because we don't even always know when someone needs us to be soil. I hope that makes sense :P

I'm praying for you!
