Every week in our RA staff meeting someone shares a song. We have had quite the mix of meaningful songs, some that are fun, others that are just favourites! I really enjoy that part of our meeting. Amanda shared the song "Love Me" by JJ Heller. I had never heard it before, but I love it. Amanda explained that it is her hope for her floor, that they will love each other for who they are. This is a thought often on the forefront of my mind as I think about community and what it means to be transparent and vulnerable with one another--something I am so passionate about. Over and over I realize that transparency needs to be met with love, unconditionally. Below is the very end of the song. Click here if you want to see the rest of the lyrics.
I will love you for you
Not for what you have done or what you will become
I will love you for you
I will give you the love
The love that you never knew
On a related note--I am so thankful! I absolutely LOVE what I get to do each day, from one-on-one's with RA's, to meetings with CLC, it is a blessing. I had the opportunity to spend some time with a Freshman and had a wonderful conversation with her. It was incredible to see her talk about her life and her relationship with the Lord and how deeply she is learning to love and experience community here at Wheaton. What an incredible blessing... it is a much needed reminder that what we do is really worth it!
