What a delicious weekend. My boys are on their way back in town and I got to hang out with Bev. I met Bev on BlackPlanet. This online hang-out spot. We never really talked much but something made me invite her out for lunch because she went to UF like I did and I really enjoyed her company. She loves God and is a good woman. What more can I ask for? Well, she seems to be JUST like my friends. I mean EXACTLY.
Pretty, funny, loves God and driven. Before I can even tell her the things that I love to do and dream for she is already saying them to me. She wants to live nice like I do, which means making great money and splurging on shopping trips, vacations and cultural arts. I want to do those same things one day! Well, she cant do them now either but its nice to talk things into existence.
The thing I like about her is that she doesnt have JESUS JESUS JESUS in every sentence, though her love for Him drives each word, ya feel me? She’s not trying to save my soul, yet I dont believe she will allow me to corrupt my inheritance. I invited her to my church because she was looking or a church home and she has been coming faithfully ever since. I am actually surprised that I like her so much.
I didnt want any new girlfriends. I know that sounds un-Christlike but really, it’s annoying trying to get to know someone new and figure out if they’re trustworthy or true. I’m too old and I have enough good friends already, not to have to do that. But, Im glad I met Bev.
But the BIGGEST thing that happened this weekend was getting a note from my sorority sister Shay. She had the BEST news: SHE’S SAVED. She’s on fire and seeking to know God more and I cried when I got that email. She is so beautiful and loving and I can see how God is going to use her in His kingdom. Wow. Its so wonderful to see your prayers being answered and God restoring the people you love to Him.
Yeah.
