During
this time, I wondered: what is this achieving? I cried for the
first two days, thinking that I had just lost one of the best friends
I'd ever had. But, I knew that it was what I had to do.
I knew
that God wanted more from me, and more from my divided heart.
On
Good Friday, I was reminded of His goodness, pun totally intended.
Not only did he provide me with a friendship that just seemed to pick
right up where it left off, but he showed me the value and
vulnerability of this friendship in a way that I had never seen
before.
I feel
like I saw the heart of this friendship for the first time.
And
how did this happen?
In
brokenness, like it always does. At times, we wonder if we are
valued by others the way that we value them, and this time apart
cemented the idea that my friendship is not a fad, but a source of
encouragement and support for this friendship.
I felt
really valued for the first time, and I'm still not sure how to feel
about that.
Either
way, Good Friday ushered in the rest of the weekend, and Easter came
and went without a hitch. I was blessed beyond belief to be able to
serve in a children's ministry that is so rock solid about Jesus, and
I was blessed by people who have become my second family up here, and
cherish me with a love that comes directly from God.
This
Easter weekend brought back one friendship, strengthened another, and
helped me to see just how much God is the glue that holds our entire
universes together.
Praise
Him...
In
Christ,
Lilia
