I just love it when I get an email from a friend I haven't heard from in a long time. Actually, I had written her to ask for some prayer about a few things and she emailed back. Her note was so encouraging and yet, it hardly said anything. It was more the fact that she said she was praying for me and I knew she would.
She is a mentor that I met with once every month or so when she was in Bloomington. She and her husband with their daughters have moved down to the Dominican Republic to be missionaries. She is super busy down there especially right now with summer mission trips coming down but she had the time to email me back. I was blessed because she took some time out of her day. She is older and wiser and a blessing to anyone she comes into contact with. The people in the DR are blessed to have her.
She is an example of a godly woman with a heart of gold. She has her struggles but she finds herself at the cross at each cross roads. I have learned a lot from her. I have learned the importance of prayer and how it works. When I am out of patience and need a small glimpse of reality she gently shifts me back in the right direction. She is a blessing to me.
I pray that one day I can be that person to someone. Life is tough. We need friends. We need each other. In the end, God's work is carried out and it is good.
