There is no feeling that matches that of being the object of a giant group hug you've earned for just for being alive, glasses pressing against your face, a tangle of arms sprawled in all directions.
At the New Way concert last night, I fully expected to burst into tears, to miss the singing, the worship experience, even the work. But I discovered, to my surprise, that I missed nothing of the framework of New Way. I just missed the people. I adore them, respect them, and want so much to encourage them. The capacity we have to care for one another after less than three weeks of day to day contact and over a span of an entire year is profound. God blessed me immensely by leading me to such intelligent, funny, Christ-like, and immensely talented individuals.
So what I yearn for is not New Way so much as the ability to spend time with the 11 remaining members of New Way 2007.
