Friends are Friends forever
I am in tears. There is nobody at work with me this morning, that is not the reason why I cry, but God planned it that way. I am so overwhelmed this morning by God's gift of friendship that it has moved me to tears. I cannot type fast enough to tell you about it nor can I see the computer screen! God works in amazing ways. I just recently started telling people about my blog and it has opened so many doors for me. Old friendships are being restored and new ones formed. I am always afraid of leaving old friends as I have experianced many times that friends last for only a season - in my life they come and go so quickly. I fear going to new places where I maybe won't fit in. But this morning, God has lifted that fear from me. He has shown me how old friends are still there, they do still care and that new friends are waiting. I cannot contain my excitement! I want to encourage you to reconnect with lost friendships and venture out to connect with strangers - you never know what God will have in store! (Now I have that ancient Micheal W. Smith song in my head 'Friends are Friends forever if the Lord is the Lord of them'....awww!!!) By the way....Happy Friday!!!!!!

Amanda,
This is so true. Friends come and go, but sometimes the impact is so deep that it leaves footprints on our hearts forever. Someimes so much time has passed that we no longer remember names of certain people, but we continue to remember the lessons and values that they taught us. No matter how often doors seem to close for us (including doors that we want to make stay open), God will also open bigger and brighter doors. Often what is through the doors that God has opened is unbelieveable and more than we could ever ask for. I guess what I am trying to say is that we just need to let God be God and open our hearts and lives to Him.

Amanda,
God works in amazing ways. I've been struggling a lot with the thought of leaving my friends here in Calgary to go off to new adventures in Edmonton. I do not want to lose old friendships, however I trust that God will keep me with the people I need to be with.
