I was just thinking today about life two years ago…
…about how Mae was so teeny-tiny.
…about how we were packing up our lives to move here and begin a new chapter.
…about how Illinois felt more foreign than Indonesia.
…about how scared I was that I’d never find friends.
One of my sweet friends from Minnesota told me that she was praying extra hard for God to send me one or two close friends. I’m sure I prayed that off and on, too…in between diaper changes and feedings and naps and coffee and episodes of Little House on the Prairie. 😉
But I know she prayed it…often.
And God answered that prayer…beyond what I could have ever imagined. And these two beautiful women, Kris and Alison, are a big part of that answer.
Friendship is such a gift…and I am so blessed.
This pic was taken at my surprise birthday party the other night. Will tell you all about it tomorrow.
