I was in my email earlier today when all of a sudden, I look down to my contact list and notice one of my old college friends is online! Now this doesn't sound all that unusual, but I haven't spoken to her in well over a year! We never seem to catch each other. She has called a couple times and vice versa, but no connect. She has been extremely busy finishing up her Physician's Assistant schooling. This woman has done a lot of different jobs. She has been a bouncer (yes, she's strong), a beach lifeguard (INCREDIBLE swimmer!), a cosmetologist (used to cut my hubby's hair when we were in college!)...and a number of other things. She finally settled down with the Physician's Assistant career and just graduated! So happy for her! She initially had gone to Word of LIfe Bible Institute, which is where her and my hubby first met. They became very good friends! They were in the Collegians choir together. And Oh...she has the most beautiful singing voice! (I love to sing, but I love listening to her more. God surely gave the girl a voice for song!) Anywhoo...after leaving WOLBI, a lot of their class went down to Liberty on scholarships. This is where I was introduced to her, by my hubby. We instantly hit it off. She is such a great friend! While at school though, she kept talking about how God was going to lead her to the perfect guy for her and let her start a family. She always talked about having a BIG family. I never met anyone to that point in my life that wanted kids as badly as she did. However, she never met that man while we were at school. Moving back home, we both lost touch. We heard from one another off and on over the years. I lost her old address during a move of ours and had to track her down once more. Upon reaching her family, I found out that she had gotten married! Again, so happy for her! I called her and we talked for some time. She expressed once again her desire to have kids, but due to physical problems she was unable and unsure if she ever would. She was quite down about it, but said she got plenty of joy out of having neices and nephews to love, along with her hubby. She was content to be in God's will. Upon reaching her today in my email chat though, I found that God has blessed her with a son...finally! He was born five months ago and is beautiful! I couldn't help but cry tears of joy! No, she couldn't see me blubbering over the good news, but I don't care. It was just so awesome to hear that my dear friend finally has a child after so much waiting...15 years!! (no, she hasn't been married that long but I've known about her desire for children that long) I'm so happy!!! What a wonderful day it has been!!! Here is a pic of my friend Tara and her new son, Hunter.
