Reflections

Did you know that if you "moo" when ordering a Moolatte you could get $.50 off your drink? Me either....until this evening.

It was just like high school...only we didn't walk the track and we were cruising "the city" in a minivan (In which we could have watched "Elmo" if we really wanted--How cool is that?).

Needless to say, times have changed a bit. I'm just sooo grateful that our friendship has withstood the ebbs and flows of life.

It's true that God is our strength and our portion (note: not buffet style helping!). He knows just what we need and He seems to always come through. Our prayers do not fall on a deaf ear.

So just when I think it's time to start shouting(in case He might have been in the other room when I was pouring out my heart!), He surprises me with just the right thing...Himself. And not just through His Word...but Jesus Himself. Living and breathing and speaking to me through the sweetness of fellowship with my brothers and sisters and very precious friends.

Their words are His words. Their lives, images of the King.

And tonight was no exception.

So, to my sweet friend, I just wanted to say thank you. Thank you for joining me on this journey. Thank you for your reflection of the King. From the days of our big hair to now, I couldn't ask for a more precious sister to grow...more mature with! (Remember--30, Flirty, & Thriving) I can't wait to see what HE has in store next!

And K-Lo...You were sadly missed this evening, My Friend! Ctown just wasn't the same without you! We saw this guy at the mall while we were cruising the strip, get off his motorcycle and punch a guy. You soo should have been there! :) Come back soon, OK?!

I am seriously jealous. DQ and sidekicking (in a minivan) in Ctown without me? It doesn't seem right.

Next time I'm so there!

You truly have a gift and a way with words. Thank you for summing up all of the same thoughts and feelings in my heart! What fun...what silliness...what a surprise to somewhat "dreaded" homecoming! I came home and couldn't stop talking about our "mini-kicking". Too fun. Very refreshing and just what the doctor ordered!

I love you, friend!
