Yesterday, was a fun day for me. I went to Bible study, which was awesome. Ladies sharing how God has answered their prayers, sometimes in ways opposite of their requests, was truly amazing.

After Bible study, I went with my sister-in-law and two other ladies, to Elk Rapids to visit another lady friend, Nancy, that we haven’t seen in awhile. Everywhere Nancy lives, she creates a home with harmony and beauty. While there, we sat on her deck, enjoying each other’s company and a potluck lunch. Nancy had invited a new neighbor to join us.

Her neighbor was such a joy to visit with, yet she had struggles of her own. Losing her best friend/mother this year has taken a toll on her faith. Moving to Elk Rapids with her husband from Chicago and struggles within her marriage, has put her in a low state. Despite this, even though her faith is shaken, she still has stories of God’s faithfulness. I am thankful that she ended up next to Nancy. Nancy will wrap her arms of hospitality and love around her and build her back up. Maybe God will arrange for us to meet again.

I love that about the friendships that God orchestrates. Friendships that build each other up. He truly is an amazing God. I pray that we all have eyes that see His intervention in everything we do and see.
