SOS
I confess...the past couple of days have been very emotional and I'm not sure why. So this morning in the midst of lots of tears, I sent an SOS out to my closest gal-pals asking for their prayers. Within minutes, I had two emails from friends committing to pray.
Within an hour, there were two other emails. One included a scripture that was just what I needed to read and it gave me comfort throughout the day. The scripture is Joshua 1:9 which says, "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go."
A couple of hours later there was a phone call asking me to go to the gym since some of the best therapy can be getting on the treadmill and running out the frustrations. By the end of the day there was a fifth email with an offer for some "retail" therapy or just some "girl time."
It is indescribable knowing that God has placed women in my life that I know I can count on for prayer support. Andrea gave me a book for Valentine's Day that describes this group a "broad squad." I don't know that I would necessarily call these ladies "broads" but they are in every sense of the word friends in whom I can trust.
As I grow (and yes, age), I have come to realize that God gives us these women friendships to lend the support during our most emotional times, times when our husbands look at us in bewilderment and total helplessness!
So, thank you my dear friends. Your support today was immeasurable. I am blessed to have you as my friends.
