A long time prayer is answered.

You know, I have said it before, it’s very rare you find friends like you had when you were young.  I am still friends with my childhood best friend to this day, but unfortunately we live 100’s of miles apart, so spending time together, really just doesn’t get to happen.

So for many years, I have been praying that God would just send me one great friend.  One who was a Christian, one I could totally be myself around and make me laugh, and one that well, just loved me for who I really am!  Well, he answerd that prayer, not once, but twice over!

Julie and Julia (yes, that is one with an e and one with an a)  are awesome!   We have the best times when we’re together!  They both attend the church that we do, however, we had never really spoken to one another until Dave was diagnosed with his eye condition.  That prompted Julie to call me out of the blue to offer help….and the rest is history.

That is just one of the things I meant in my previous post about Dave’s disease being “a gift”.  It brought me two of the best people I know, and NEEDED in my life!   And it has also brought Dave some much needed friendships.

I wouldn’t choose to have had them brought to us this way, but God knows what He’s doing…and who are we to question Him?
