He is.....

I once let out a desperate cry in prayer to the Lord to fill my life with friends. I was feeling alone in a dessert of life and duties without a life line of female friendship to encourage me and remind me to lift my head to the true barer of fuel for the weary. That prayer was honest and heartfelt and not to my surprise my heavenly father heard me. It was no more than three days after those tearful words left my heart that my life was transformed by the abundance of friends. I had five, yes five new women in my life call me or reach out to me in those three days all seeking friendship and encouragement through fellowship. It was amazing.

Five years have past since that miraculous week and the mighty work of God has never ceased. I still have an abundance of friends most of them are the same as that very week, with a good hand full of new ones as well. The Lord knew my heart and knew what I could handle and not handle.

HE is my best friend. My comforter and my strength. He is rock when I am shaky and breaking down, my guide when I am lost and wandering in the darkness of life. He is love when my heart sinks lower than my own ability to love others. He is joy and sun when the grey sky and rain stays for too long. He is peace when I am overwhelmed. He is my calm when the stormy sea of disgruntled children, dishes, laundry and tears are more than this woman can bare. He is inspiration in a dark world when I long to create for Him and honor Him. He is my warmth when the blankets are too thin and my toes are cold. He is the cool breeze that refreshes my body when I am too hot to think and too tired to move. He is the credit behind every good idea given to me. He is the deep breath when my temper is bigger than me and the moment I am in. He is doctor when I am week and my body is trapped in it's own humanity and it needs guidance to operate. He is the food the builds me up and allows me to be upright and confident. He is the water that fills me, that fuels me, that freshens me, that cools me, that floats me, that baths me, that saves me.
He is my God, my friend.

Thank you Lord for blessings me with amazing friends who are the physical body of your love for me.
I am blessed, I know I am loved
