Two years ago today, when I was videotaping a baptism picnic for NewSong Fellowship Church in Lancaster, PA, I saw a really cute girl and I went up to talk to her. I hesitated at first because I am normally pretty shy and have no idea what to say to new acquaintances, let alone cute ones, but then I thought, “Why not? If I make a fool of myself or come off the wrong way, it’s no big deal. I live in Maryland, I’ll never see these people again.”
Wouldn’t you know it, a year later, I was attending NewSong Fellowship. I started making new friends and acquaintances, and I proceeded to make a few more semi-negative impressions among people. One of those new acquaintances was the cute girl I saw at the picnic the previous year. We ran into each other twice–along with two more bad first impressions.
Somehow, through no intention or fault of my own, God brought that beautiful woman from the picnic into my life, and we fell in love rather quickly, and have become best friends in the meantime. I could not ask for a better friend!
