friends of blessing

so ian and i went to get the girls from our friends today. we spent the evening at disneyland with them, hanging out, riding rides and just enjoying being together. what a fabulous time with a fantastic family. i love those nicholsons!

last night i was recounting with my mom how i met them and realize that God really had his hand upon us to meet. their presence in my life [and Brian's] has been a complete blessing.

thank you, Jesus, for watching over me and allowing me to see and know divine appointments.

what a day. i'm pooped. heading off to bed now.

who would've thought....

...that:

• a box of bills would make me cry?
• seeing a bee today would comfort me?
• my son would repeat the word "beach" every time we get in the car to go somewhere? [he is his father's son, after all]
  
• people would actually want to trade places with me?
• a friend dear to Brian's heart would actually want to go to church?
• Brian's long ago friends would ever contact me?
  
• two months could have passed by but feels like time is standing still?

amazing and hard for me to believe, but true...

Life After.
