This blog entry is a tribute to my best friend, Rebekah. I don't really have any other friends left from high school anymore. I don't know where they all went or if I really ever had any. There are a few aquaintances and that is all.
This is for my friend. Like the bible says in Proverbs 17:17 "A Friend Loves at all times....." (NIV) And this is so true of Rebekah. She knows absolutely everything about me, the good, bad, and the ugly and loves me just the same.
Our lives are very different. She has a career and is single. I am a married, stay-at-home mom. But one thing remains- we are best friends. She called me just this week out of the blue to see how I was doing. And she does not know it but it really made my day!
To know someone else is out there thinking of you, how comforting. Hearing from her makes life a little more worthwhile in this hectic life of mine.
I thank God for giving me our friendship. I never had a sister growing up and always wanted one. God is so good, he gave me a special kind of sister in Rebekah.
One final verse: Ecclesiastes 4:12- Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themseles. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken. (NIV)

A Special Calling
How do we know when God is calling us to do something specific in our lives?
I really want to know the answer to this. So, if any of my bloggy friends out there want to reply feel free to do so!
Obviously, I have to pray specifically for God to show me what to do and when to do it.....but of course there is also the part of me actually knocking on doors too, but which doors and when?
It all comes back to my basic faith and trust. I must learn to trust in God for every breath I take and every step I make. Afterall, my life verses are: Proverbs 3:5-6- "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight." (NIV)
I feel like God may call me to share my testimony and be a writer/speaker in the future. I am just going to pray about it. Why? Because there is so much more to it than I am saying in this blog entry that's why!
I turn to His Word tonight for comfort in these thoughts. Psalm 100:5 tells me "For the Lord is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations." (NIV) He will give me the answers I need in His timing.
So until then like it says in Psalm 4:3- " In the morning, O Lord, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait in expectation."(NIV) I will learn to wait for His voice, His calling for me, in His timing, not mine.
My journey continues.
