Why I Love Matt Hiltibran

(I mean there are so many reasons...)

But this email conversation's a pretty good example:

Me: (insert near nervous breakdown venting here, ending with:) ...and I just wish I could schedule an hour just for venting out all of my HNGR questions without even expecting a response...

Matt's reply: We totally should. How's Wednesday?


Um, dear God, thanks for giving me the best friends ever, love, Emily.


I miss my BFF.






(EDIT: The pic finally loaded! This would be Matt holding an ice pack on my face. I had dental surgery this summer and he flew in from Ohio to spend two days watching Grey's Anatomy, making me cold packs, and laughing at me as I jealously watched him eat all the delicious things I couldn't. This AND he puts up with my HNGR angst. True friendship.)

Human Needs Global Resources Covenant, 2009

As fellow travelers on this journey, we commit to this covenant before God. Lord, in Your mercy, hear these our prayers:

When confronted with scarcity, need, and inadequacy, may we be nourished by the Bread of Life and the Cup of Salvation. Abundance overflows from Your table, sustaining all who come in faith. Father, help us.

When monotony blurs our vision and dulls our senses, may we encounter others as Christ did, through intentional presence in daily life, submitting as clay to be formed into vessels filled with the Spirit. Christ, guide us.

When wounded by the fractured condition of Your people, may we be united by Your Lordship in faith, hope, and love; seeing, as through the facets of a diamond, the beautiful spectrum of Your light reflected onto Your holy Church joined in praise. Spirit, empower us.

When all Creation groans, afflicted by injustice and driven to despair, may the promise of redemption root us in the hope of Your Kingdom: "Behold, I am making all things new!"

Holy Trinity, send us now into the world in peace, and grant us strength and courage to love and serve You with gladness and singleness of heart.

Amen.
