My Prayer to You dEar FeRINd

To one of my dearest friends,
From the moment I met you and your husband three years ago approximately, I knew that you both were amazing people.You were always someone that I wanted to know and I always appreciated being friends with. You always sat in the back in our weekly gatherings, but never were you ignored or looked past. The energy you bring into the room when you walk is uncanny and calming and it's because of you that's always reminded me of what a good friend is. Whether it be 5 minute coffee dates, having the honor to witness you and your husband saying I Do, or simply just awaiting in prayer that God will work in your life and allow us to cross paths which He most certainly did! 

It absolutely breaks my heart to see you in so much pain and self doubt, to hear you focus so much of your attention on your brokenness when all others can see is a beautiful woman who has it so much together. If you break, it's okay to because you have good friends that are ready to glue you back together. This is a tough season for you and it certainly doesn't help that you are taunted everywhere you go and by everyone you see, Satan is good at manipulating our daily relationships and experiences, he's also an expert at shaping our attitudes. I want you to know that you are loved no matter what attitude you have, no matter how jerkish you feel, you are loved, forgiven, and your church family and the friends in your life are always ready to deliver you grace. 

We are rooting you on girlfriend and I am praying everyday for you to at least find peace within yourself so that you can have patience. I won't talk down to you and say that life won't be easy or that God will deliver in His time because He knows that even I don't like that advice, what I will tell you is that you always have people to come to talk to or pray with you whenever you need them and when you don't think you do that's okay too, you will still be loved :)

You are a beautiful, strong, and amazing woman. You captivate the room when you walk in, I'm proud to be your friend and so happy you have became a part of NewLife.

Dear Friend, You are truly beautiful never let anyone or anything take your sparkle away :)
