Greetings to every F.A.C.E.!
Exactly three years ago (to the minute, if I do this correctly), I posted my first comment on the Not-Forum. Three years seems like a lifetime in the pacing of the internet, but like a fraction of a blink of an eye in the grand scheme of life.
In honor of this occasion, I have prepared a speech. *steps up to podium to make speech*
Fellow F.A.C.E.s, three years ago I posted a comment here to the Not-Forum that helped affect the trajectory of my life. Who among us could have known that it would not only lead to the most successful Inner Tube comment kerfuffle of all time, but multiple fancasts (including the greatest fancast of all time), marathon Skype calls, and internet friendships… Only God knew what would happen.
Our lives have all changed since August 2017, and would have regardless of our involvement with the Not-Forum and this fandom. Nevertheless, when I look back on this time, all the projects we completed, the memories we shared, and the puns we made… well, I am very grateful for the F.A.C.E.s. and the ways that God has used the members of this fandom to be a blessing to me.
I want to emphasize in this speech that even as our lives change, often in ways that are a bit different than we anticipated, God never changes. He still loves us the same now as He did then: infinitely.
John 3:16 says, “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.”
I don’t know what the future holds, but I do hope it still plugs in with an Aux Cable. And even if it doesn’t… well… wasn’t the real Aux Cable the friends we made along the way anyway? God holds our future, and I’m glad that He gave me the opportunity to be a F.A.C.E. 🙂
To God be the glory, great things He has done.
