Saving Grace: January 2011

Something cool that God has done in my life in 2010 is he has uniquely brought some very special people into my life.....it's a really long story as to how we all became friends and maybe one day ill tell it but for now suffice it to say that God divinely intertwined our lives and has blessed us with a really wonderful bond! There are 5 of us and we live all over. Stefany lives in Rockhill, South Carolina, Mary lives in Seattle, Washington, Erin is from Dallas, Texas but is currently living in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, and Sally and I both live in Atlanta. Due to the geographical distances between us, most of our communication is done through email but we share about everything! Our trials, our triumphs, our worries, our praises everything! If there is something major going on, these are the girls I go to because I know that no one will be quicker than to go straight to the Lord in prayer and petition! I am so thankful for them!

Erin came home from Tanzania for 2 weeks and on her way back she planned a long layover in Atlanta. Stefany, her husband, and three little boys were coming back from Florida so they timed it where they could be here. Upon hearing this, Mary and her hardcore self decided to fly in with her four month old baby to be here for this big gathering. You know just a cross country trip for a 4 hour visit, no big deal. That is what kind of friends these are!

This Sunday I discovered one of my new favorite things about being a mama...watching other people love your children because of how they love you! It was the most beautiful day!!
