You've got a friend....

We are fortunate in our lives if we are blessed with one, two or even three people whom really know us.  These people do not lie in judgement of the choices we make.  They are simply there because they love us for who we are...warts and all.  They will listen but are not scared to call us on our junk.  They are there to help us when our train derails and they are usually the ones whom are cheering the loudest when we have something to celebrate.  They have stood by our side through the thick and thin, ins and outs, and even the good and the bad.  They are most def our three am phone call when everything is falling apart or they are the first one we call when our child is born.  I believe this type of Friendship, real frienship is a true gift of God.  It is a way for God to be there in person, when we need a physical touch.  He has provided a way for us to have a safe place to fall.  I love that analogy...a safe place to fall...(Thanks H.I, I use that saying more than I can count!)  We have all had that moment where we have needed a safe place to regroup....and there it is...a place To snuggle deep into His side and just breathe.

So who is your safe place to fall?  Who do you have in your life to serve as your safe harbor?  Who is that friend that it doesnt matter how long it has been since you have seen one another...you just pick right back up just like it was yestereday!  I would like to challenge you to give them a call or hug and let them know just how much they mean to you!

  3. well, a few years ago I didn't have many of them. Now my cup runs over. There are so many people God has given me these past few years, I'm really blessed. Any one of them would drop everything to come to my aid, and many have. I hope to be that person for others.. I hope I'm that for you! Muah!

  4. We all have tons of friends, but the ones that are safe place to fall we can count on one hand. In my teens & early 20's I had a few that I would have considered my "safe place to fall", but when the going got tough those people were gone. I never thought that I would be blessed to have friends in my life that I could count on no matter what. God has proven me wrong!! I am super blessed to have those special people in my life. No matter how far apart we may be I know that I can always count on them no matter what! I love you Laurel and miss you so much!!
