Friendships and a Nickname

This weekend has been great. I had Semiadoptedkid's family here yesterday, and we found the T-Rex Cafe. It was a lot of fun. It had good food and a great time in fellowship. It was priceless in my book!

Laura arrived around 9pm last night, and we went to IHOPKC. It was a lot of fun. It is such a joy to have a friend who enjoys the prayer room as much as I do. We left there about 11:30 and were up until 2am talking. I love Laura, she is so deep in God that we have a lot in common. I am blessed to have her in my life. Seriously.

Today we did FCF, which was fun. Then we came back here and visited before I went back to drive the shuttle tonight. I tell ya what, the Shuttle is FUN. Tonight when I first got there, we were locked out of the office, and I met "Slim." On the shuttles, almost everyone has a nickname. I tried one a few weeks back, but it just wasn't me...I wasn't feeling it. And honestly, it was a name that I kind of gave myself, so it just didn't feel right. So tonight when I met Slim, he said, "You need a nickname." I just looked at him. I had never met the guy in my life, and he felt I needed a nickname so I could be a part of the fun side of the Shuttle Driving experience. He said, "Can I suggest a name?" and I said, "sure." And he looked at me...really looked at me...and said, "Pleasant. You seem very pleasant and you want to please the Lord." I smiled and said, "Yeah, I Like it!" It stuck. Tonight was fun driving with Slim and The Rose. At one point the gal named "The Rose" told me that Slim had given her her nickname as well. That made me smile. Slowly but surely I'm making friends here. I like that!

After driving the shuttle, Laura met me outside the Prayer Room and we came back here and just visited. I have missed that. I have missed just sitting with a close friend and talking about God, and what God has been showing us. I have just missed having someone who says, "So what is God showing you these days?" So, tonight was a blessing from God. We both shared our hearts...which has been PRICELESS in my book.

Now it's time to go participate in one of my favorite hobbies...SLEEP!

So until tomorrow...

Life.
Is.
Good.
