So much has happened and I haven't had the time or opportunity to blog about it!
A week ago Adam and I were reunited with one of his college buddies, Jared. One of those people that I know God wanted him to meet and make a part of his/our lives. His wife, Jenny, is one of those people. You know the type...
She's the kind you couldn't pick to be any better. It's like you go in the friend store and you get to choose. You pick some of the same traits that you have, so you will have things to converse about and share. You then pick her to have some traits that you wish you had, or that you would like to refine. The poise and the posture and the things that you work and strive to become. This is good in a friend, as it gives you something to aim for and someone in whom to see it manifested so that you know why you would like to be that way, or have that trait. You see the faults you have in a new light...not a harsh one, but one that helps you to redefine who and what you want to be, and see a better way to get there.
Jenny is one of those people that I know will be a life-long friend. I have spent many times in prayer thanking God for Jared and Jenny and for allowing Adam and my life to entwine with their's and to give us other opportunities to spend time together.
When they left, it was one of those bittersweet times, glad that they were off on to the next adventure, off to see what blessings God has in store for them on the next road, in the next town, with the next family, in the next home, and yet sad that our short time couldn't be longer, that the stories couldn't have lasted longer, sad that the next adventure isn't ours to share with them.
Jared and Jenny, may the Lord watch over you and guide you on to other blessings that he has in store for you! You are both wonderful and we love you! There are great things in store for you...many lives that you will bless in your love for God! I am glad that God has brought you both into our lives! If not here in this faraway country, then when we get Home, we will have forever with you!
