I'll tell you what, making friends with someone that gets you from the very beginning. Someone you instantly connect with and are drawn to. Someone that can relate to you on every level.
Today I hung out with a girl, Meg, I met a few Sundays ago and it was unreal how similar we are! I have a few friends that I feel are like extensions of me, but this was the first time where we connected on our stories and where we're at right now. I'm telling you, if I were to look in the mirror, I wouldn't see someone more similar! This is the beginning of a beautiful friendship! The crazy thing is, I feel like I've grown up with her all my life! God definitely has a great sense of humor and I bet he was just tickled to death watching us today, reacting to each other with such surprise and disbelief at each twist and turn in the conversation. He had to have been proud of his creative skills at that point!
I've been surrounded lately with such wonderful people: my incredibly handsome and supportive husband, my best friends that have stuck with me through so much, my parents, who I'm growing closer to each day and understanding on a whole new level. I've even been so lucky to make my first blog friend! (you should check Betsy out at her blog Three.20 She's really quite something).
They all bring so much to my life and I feel like Meg is just what I've been praying for over the past several months. If I didn't think so already, today showed me that God has a beautiful plan and you better get on board because he's movin' and you want to see where he's goin'! Today left me speechless and with a perma-grin that, frankly, I don't want to go away. I hope you all enjoyed your Friday as much as I did!
I'm really happy for you Rach!! I know how much you love and cherish having good friends and it is awesome when God gives us what we desire and what we need. And when He gives it , it is usually always so much more than we could have asked for or imagined.(Sounds familiar from somewhere huh? I think it came from
