i met g.mango when i was 14 . . . and what struck me as odd was that she considered "jesus freak" to be a compliment. anyway, two years later i became a Christian, and she started making a tad more sense to me. not much, mind you. throughout our almost eight years of friendship, there's been tonnes of crap, lots of hurt, plenty of me taking her for granted, a plethora of misunderstandings and so much more. but there's something that keeps us hangin' on.
i don't know what it is for her, but for me it's always been this: i've never doubted what God wanted for our friendship, even when i wasn't sure i wanted it to exist at all. i've always been sure that God was doing something awesome. and, you know, He has. i've learned things through my friendship with g.mango that i don't think i could have learned else-wise.
her approach to faith and living the life challenges me, her honesty inspires me more often than it offends me. what i admire most about her, though, is that she's a woman who knows what she's about. this is all sounding like an early birthday message, and that wasn't my intention. all the same: g.mango, i'm so glad you were born, and that God had the sense of humour and wisdom to throw us in each other's paths. love ya!
