Into the Fire

I can now officially say I’m so glad I “joined” Facebook. Last Friday I mentioned one of my best friends when I was growing up. Just yesterday she found me on Facebook, and we’ve had quite a reunion reliving those days of old. What a treat as our lives intersect so many years later.

Turns out our memories have been passing through our thoughts simultaneously, so we both know the Lord has something special in mind for our new time together.

I’ve heard so many people say they found old friends through the Facebook experience, and now I’ve experienced it for myself. I don’t spend a lot of time there, and I have the blog “wired” into my profile page, but this is a reward I really didn’t expect.

Neither one of us were Christians in our youth, and now we are. Our friendship covered many years–those formative times when awkwardness and silliness go hand in hand, when laughing and crying are the norms, when horses and boys get equal time . . .

Thank you, Lord, for bringing Debbie back into my life. May we make the most of this renewed friendship. In the Name of Jesus, Amen.
