I was reminded this past weekend of the meaning of fellowship. It was so refreshing to visit San Antonio and be reunited with my UTSA friends. I did as much homework as I could before the weekend came so that I could relax this weekend, and I'm glad I did. Friday night, we ate at a restaurant called Los Robertos, and let me tell you, they had the best burritos I've ever eaten in my entire life! To end the weekend, Kevin, Ryan, Loren, and I ate there again. Two nights in a row..it was gross, yet so good at the same time. This restaurant was so good that it inspired Ryan to start his food blog, so be on the look out.
Food aside, a picture of fellowship was drawn that had slowly slipped from me - fellowship beyond clutter, distractions, borders, or restrictions of a campus. This fellowship is organic, real, and it's authentic. Fellowship is so much more significant, simple, and sufficient than any school organization. It's a body of believers united by Him whom we walk with.
Sometimes I just need to remember to step back a bit. The complications and logistics of ministry can so easily take away from the purpose which we are called to. Last night we worshiped God together and simply loved each other as we prayed out loud for God to move on our campuses in UTSA and UT. It was encouraging and refreshing. I pray that God can continue to move students to passion wherever they are and restore purpose in our lives.
