for stacy and katie...
i am being made aware of the beauty that God intended for relationship. i think i have the best friends that God could bless me with... for me. i believe that God knows exactly who we need in our life to speak to our souls. He knows just who to make for us in order that we might experience the best possible life. now, i am sure this is coming off far more selfish than i intended for it to; however, i feel justified in this brilliant form of selfishness. =) i am in love with a Creator who knows me more than i know myself. He knows the deepest needs in me... and He has provided the perfect friends to meet them. what grace! i am amazed at the treasure that God has given me in my friends. there is committment, devotion, complete safety, trust... and a sense of responsibility that rests upon our friendship. i am overwhelmed at how good these people are. i am amazed at their passionate pursuit of God and am honored He would allow me to live my life alongside of theirs. i am humbled at their gifts, their perspectives, and the incredible wisdom they exude. such beauty lies in them... and i feel closer to God as i draw closer to them. or... perhaps it is the other way around? ha! truly, I am a blessed woman. as i reflect on my friendship with two particular women, i cannot doubt that God's hand has been upon us since the beginning. katie and stacy are women dave edwards would refer to as "covanental friends." they are friends that are God-ordained in my life ... they are women who i am loyal to, who i care deeply for, and who i can only pray grace upon. they are friends that are simply gifts. that's it. just gifts. to me, from God... out of His ridiculous grace and unbelievable mercy. and who doesn't like gifts? especially ones from Jesus to me? =)
stacy and katie... i love you. thank you for being the perfect friends in a broken and imperfect world.

I am humbled by your blog. I am so very grateful for your friendship, encouragement, and role as a "cheer leader" in my life. You strengthen me by your belief in me! Thank so much!
I love you!

So, you know how God kinda speaks to us in themes? It's like he really wants us to get some concept so he throws it in every conversation, every sermon, every scripture or book we read. Well, apparently he does it in blogs as well. :) Like Kaite, I am humbled and and feel very undeserving of your friendship, but so glad that by God's incredible grace, I am able to agree with you and walk with you through life. Thank you for being a tangible example of the gospel in my life. Thank you for honesty, graciousness, forgiveness, joy and laughter. Thank you for being my safe place. I love you retard.
Love,
Moron
