Friends :)

A friend loves at all times, and is born, as is a brother, for adversity. Proverbs 17: 17

Oil and perfume rejoice the heart; so does the sweetness of a friend's counsel that comes from the heart. Proverbs 27: 9

The worst part about going through something is feeling like you are doing it alone because you cannot talk to anyone.  My prayer lately had been: "God, either bring me someone I can talk to or be enough for me."  But I was feeling so burdened and isolated and lonely - on top of the other feelings associated with my situation.  

And I kept wanting to talk to my old friends but it just wasn't happening.  But tonight God opened an opportunity to talk to people who have recently come into my life and it helped me so much.  It was so good to have people to talk to, people who will listen to you and pray for you and even just hug you and let you cry with them.  

I am so thankful for them and will continue to pray for them and nurture our friendship.  We are growing together, doing life together.  It's a beautiful thing. 

Psalm 133
How wonderful and pleasant it is
    when brothers live together in harmony!
For harmony is as precious as the anointing oil
    that was poured over Aaron’s head,
    that ran down his beard
    and onto the border of his robe.
Harmony is as refreshing as the dew from Mount Hermon
    that falls on the mountains of Zion.
And there the Lord has pronounced his blessing,
    even life everlasting.
