Feb. 22, 2006 - Thank God for girlfriends..........

Well today has been a really good day. A couple of us homeschooling mommas took it upon ourselves to have a "fun" day for school. Let me say first that God has seen fit to bless me with 3 very dear, wonderful girlfriends.

My friend Yvette has been my bestest (not a word, I know) friend for a couple of years now, and it pretty much has just been me and her, and that was fine. She's so precious to me and I can't even imagine what my life was like without her, we became instant friends and I have laughed with her almost every single day for years now, not to mention the crying we've done together. She truly is the sister I never had. I could have just had her for a friend forever and never have needed more but God being as good as he is, must have thought, "What the heck, let me bless Misty a little more", because here come Misty K. (yes, we have the same name) and Kelli, both of these women are so, so, so, wonderful.

The funny thing about Misty K. and Kelli is that we have been in the same homeschool group for years but have never really talked until this year. We have just kinda showed up for monthly meetings and then left, no real interaction. This year has been soooo different, Misty K. and I bonded quickly because we have boys the same age and they became good friends, therefore we were forced to talk and found out we actually enjoyed each other.....DUH!! We should have talked years ago. She is so special and such a great friend, she has the most wonderful loving spirit and I know that I have so much to learn her. She genuinely loves the Lord, and it inspires me to want more of God myself. I admit that I can be so inconsistent sometimes and my personal relationship with God suffers because of it, but the more I get to know of her the more I see what you reap from having a constant relationship with him. I know that I have so much to learn from her and I'm glad to have her in my life.

Kelli is my adorable, spunky friend, she brings out the young side of me that I forgot was there. Daily life, can cause you to forget that its okay to be silly and fun and impulsive, we have so much that we HAVE to do everyday that we forget life can be good no matter what I have to do. She is the one who goes roller skating with me and shares in my blisters and bruises, we attempted to teach our children the electric slide EEEKKKK!!!, she's the one who puts all the kids in her car and does donuts in the parking lot. (sounds dangerous but it wasn't) Well she is that part of me that I missed so terribly much, and am so glad to have back. We are both impulsive and silly, we laugh so much our cheeks hurt, and I love it. At the same time she has her serious, deep, spiritual side and I really learn alot from her.

Now having given out way to much info., today Kelli, Misty K., and I took all of our children, all 12 of them, to a great McDonalds with a huge indoor playground and let all the kids play while we talked for 3 hours. How fun is that!!? Then we all headed to a super cozy new library and stayed there for another 3 hours, just looking at books and talking while the kids used the computers and read books. People who think homeschoolers don't have enough socialization, have never met our families. :)

Days like today are such a huge blessing not only to me but to my children, and I just have to pray and say "Thank you God for knowing me even better than I know myself. Thank you for blessing me with my husband, and children, and now wonderful sisters to join in my life. You truly do care about even the smallest of details of my life. You know all my hearts desires and are always willing to grant them. You are a good God."
