2 stories for the price of one...errrr...free!
Tonight I have two stories to share. I would say they're two for the price of one but you read this for free, so I guess it's a two-for-one night! Ha! They are my two highlights for today. Yeah, two highlights! It was a good day!
First off, this morning I was talking to Speechgal about a student's progress, and wound up sharing my dream of moving with her. I know, you're all thinking, "You just moved into an apartment." True, but I have a deep desire to be a part of IHOP-KC. I've had it for several years, but waited, hoping my former roommate would be able to financially support herself and I could move up there. Well, now that I'm free of that responsibility, I am ready to walk out my dream. However, I don't have a job yet. I've had interviews, but not any job offers. Which is fine. Whether it's this school coming school year or next, I am cool with that. So, as I shared my heart about moving to KC, Speechgal teared up, stating she understood my desires, but hated to think of me leaving. I was blessed. I am loved so very well here, and it was a reminder that me just being me is making a difference. It touched my heart...
Secondly, I had some friends over tonight and they blessed me in ways I can't even express in words. SingingGal brought her two kids, and we ate pizza and wound up going and renting "Bolt." (Good movie by the way!) We laughed and joked a lot. SingingGal and I also had some time to just talk. That was precious to me. After all I've been wrestling with about friendships, and how one recently ended very abruptly and with a lot of pain that God and I are discussing a lot, I am reminded tonight that there are some WONDERFUL Christian friends around me, supporting me in ways they don't even see or know. And in light of everything I'm processing, I don't take one ounce of love from my friends now for granted. And I thank God for each and every one of them...
Life.
Is.
Good.
