January 9, 2011- Zach Hoffman

It's funny the people God places on your heart. Today's was unexpected, but such a blessing to be able to pray and think about what this person means to me. A month ago, if you asked me who Zach Hoffman was, all I would be able to tell you is that he is Jordan Howell's roommate. Today I got to think about pray for who Zach Hoffman really is. The Zach that is debatably the best dancer I have ever seen and looks more put together on a bad day then I do on a good one(but lets be honest, it's not that hard to.) The Zach I got to know today is a Zach that I am excited to get to know better.


This morning, a beautiful group of people came over to "The APT." and we had house church. We began to pray for each other, and ask the harder questions. We began to dig deep and find out what was on each other's hearts. Zach had the ability to sugar coat his burdens, struggles and oppression; he had the opportunity to brush off the question entirely and sit in silence. He didn't though. He had the boldness, and the courage to speak up and be vulnerable with his brothers and sisters in Christ. Those of you who know me a lot or a little all know that I have trouble with vulnerability, and to see Zach in a complete state of it, trusting that God would be glorified through it was incredible.


Zach you are the first of these entries to effect me the greatest, the same day I write about you. I know God has placed us in each other's lives for a reason and I could not be more excited to see what that reason is. Thank you for sharing your heart and helping me understand how beautiful vulnerability can be. 


Ephesians 4:25
"So stop telling lies. Let us tell our neighbors the truth, for we are all parts of the same body."
