Misery loves company :)

I just talked to a good friend of mine, a person in my PA program. She just had her first day of Urgent Care work; she started a little late because she had a baby our last year. She was freakin' out - understandably. I got to listen to her talk about her day, we laughed together, she "vented", and I shared some of my learning curve thus far. It was really nice :) It's really nice to connect with someone that just KNOWS what you are going through, isn't it?

I love that God puts people in our lives, our friends, with whom we can talk...and they "get it". I love walking people through things that I have been through or am still going through myself. It is a joy to be a comfort to someone, and to encourage them, and to love them. THAT is life giving. I pray that God would continually mold my life so that I can befriend or be-a-friend to others around me. I pray he would help each of us to see that we can truly count it all joy knowing that our present sufferings/life situations/circumstances are being used for things far greater than ourselves....and that we are earning that eternal weight of glory, and that we get to share in the JOY of loving others as they walk too. To the many dear and special friends I have: Thank You for walking with me...may your Joy be complete...

...may our cups overflow :)

Love, Kristie
