Friends ARE Such a Blessing

So I am officially the worst blogger. Sometimes I just feel like I really don't have much to say that is fun or interesting or I don't have cute baby pics like so many of you! But then I get a friendly reminder that I need to update so I do!

These past few weeks have been full of seeing God's blessings at work! There are blessings at work each and everyday that go unnoticed, but THEN there are times that you just truly stop and see them.

Here lately I have been really down in the dumps and just feeling like I don't have anyone to go out and do something with. I know that I have friends and that the Lord has blessed me above and beyond with the friendships I have! However, most of these friends are married, have babies, or live somewhere other than me. So I have been praying here recently that the Lord would put a friend in my life to fill the blues! It was amazing how I saw my prayers answered this week, plus a few others as well.

I have had a friend from high school's phone number in my phone since October, but I just haven't taken the time to call her. So last Friday night when I had NOTHING to do I decided to call her and see what she was up to. I got her voice mail and left a message and she called back on Saturday and left me a message. In her message I could tell something just wasn't right. She sounded sooo sad. So I called her back on Monday and soon learned the reason for her sadness. I am not going to share the story as I am not sure if she would be ok with me sharing with so many, but it is one of the saddest stories I have heard in a long time. She has lost someone very close to her, but in her sadness all she could talk about were the blessings from loving this person. She kept saying how blessed she was that she finally felt love and what to love someone really meant. It broke my heart to hear her sadness. But in this sadness I started to see two prayers being answered. Right now all she needs is a friend and right then all I need was a friend. We were able to go to dinner and to the Mav's game on Wednesday together and it was so good to just spend time with an old friend. Plus we already have plans to get together again soon! I can just see how the Lord is working!

Secondly I was able to spend some good ol' quality time with my favorite Flea! That is my wonderful old roommate Felicia. We were able to meet on Saturday in Southlake and just spend the day together. Flea you will never know how much fun I had with you and how much our friendship means to me! Felicia and I have been through so much together and I am so blessed by her sweet spirit. Who would have ever guessed that you would find one of your best friends in your ACU Welcome Week group (and that was Group 3)!

I am so thankful for the friends that God continues to bless my life with. Friendship is one of the greatest blessings He so freely gives! To all my friends out there reading this, I love you all!
