An Instrument in Christ's Hands

Did it really happen?

Posted in Friendships

Dear Blog readers,

I didn't know a heart could hurt so much over such a dear friend.  Mariah just flew back to Missouri this morning.  We had the most lovely time together that any two friends could wish for, and got to know each other beyond anything we thought possible.  It truly is a God-orchestrated friendship. 

In any case, our parting was an extraordinarily hard one.  We both hugged lots, and cried more, and left thinking how marvelous it was that there was someone who loved you enough that they would cry over you in parting.  I've been crying off and on all day, it just hurts so much!  Sometimes, as I look back on this incredible three and a half weeks, I find it hard to believe it actually happened.

It did, though, and we have some absolutely fabulous memories.  We worked on a scrapbook lots, so we have lots to show!  We both still have some pages left to work on though.  I'm not sure I can do it right away, or with all those pictures I might get a bunch of tears on the paper. 

I guess I don't have much else to say.
God bless,
Sheila

How exciting it all must have been! I'm so glad and thankful to read that you had such a blessed time together. I have a very close friend and your descriptions of the closeness of your friendship and the Godly path you've chosen for it has greatly encouraged me to attempt greater strides in our relationship.

Thanks for posting all of this!

My best friend is very far away from me, but we scrapbook and then send the pages to each other. It is a wonderful idea! I miss her so much and I know what it feels like to be missing a friend!
I like your picture of you and your best friend. Very pretty!
Love, Elizabeth:)
