The pleasure of a good friend

Seriously... one of the most important things about a transition of the magnitude that I am going through is to be connected to good friends. New friends and friends from years gone by. I just want to share about one group of friends that has been a steady source of encouragment during past few months.

So there is this group of girls that I have had the privilege to be a part of for the past 3 or is it 4 years now? I am more grateful every day for the influence that we have each had in each other's lives.

Sara is part of the group... so her coming to Kandern on her way back to Burundi was so special. We got to walk around the little town that I dwell in and just catch up.

Bekah is part of the group... I got to go see her in Prague this past week. So refreshing to just talk and catch up and look at the process that God has us in. I cut her hair and two of her friends' hair.. that was fun.

Kristin is part of the group... and she and I will meet up in Venice Italy this summer after her mission trip to Slovenia. I am so excited to travel with her!...even if it is for a short time.

How privileged and special am I? wow...

and to top it off... I get to go see Rakel Thurman, Allen Jones, Peter and Jen Hibbs and Janice Beeghly as they have an 8 hour layover in London on their way back from Sudan in a couple weeks. London is a short hop and sounds like the perfect way to spend my weekend! :-)
