God blesses so unexpectedly.
Last Thursday, I reconnected with a friend from years ago! We sat and talked for almost 2 hours. We used to hang out all the time in Jr. High. We would be at each other's houses quite often. Then we went to different High Schools, and kinda lost touch. Okay. Totally lost touch! She and her husband recently started attending the church I go to. They also joined the worship team and we were on the team together this week, and it was awesome! I haven't sat and talked about anything & everything with someone for a long time.
Her husband was super great about it too, he sat there for almost 2 hours with us listening and interjecting every once in a while. Not all husbands would do that for their wives.
We were both super encouraged by the chat and the renewing of our friendship.
There have been times since I moved back to North Platte, that I have felt less than connected. It's not that I don't have friends, or other women in my life, and for that I am thankful. I have some great friends and fellow Camp Wives at Camp, but I have been struggling with a feeling of "cennectedness" in North Platte. Women who aren't involved in ministry or camping and have time to spend chatting and hanging out.
Recently though, it seems God has been placing this type of woman in my path. I met some women at a Progressive Dinner over New Year's and one of them even went to my church!! Then God brought this friend and I back together.
I am so blessed by God to have these new women in my life. I know I don't always look for these kinds of blessings. I am sure I would see more if I just keep my eyes open for how God is working in my life. This Sunday, my pastor encouraged us to keep a look out for how God is drawing close to us, or providing/blessing us. Since this re-connection happened last week I guess it doesn't count for this week, but I am determined to see God work in my life this week.
I'll try to update you when it happens! No guarantees though :)
