Proverbs 17:17 (The Message)<\/em><\/p>\n

Friends love through all kinds of weather,<\/em>
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0and families stick together in all kinds of trouble.<\/em><\/p>\n

Today I finally heard the words that I had been waiting to hear for a while now.<\/p>\n

“Can I go sit with my friends, Mommy?” Lil A’ and Lil E’ were sitting at a large round table at church partaking in leftovers from our ladies’ brunch & work bee. A few tables away were a bunch of the other church kids. We had parked ourselves close to Baby M’s stroller.<\/p>\n

There was nothing to say but yes. I had been a bit worried about Lil’ A. When we\u00a0moved churches<\/a>\u00a0I was worried that the kin-ship she had with the small group of children there \u00a0would be lost, never to be found again…ok that sounds extreme.<\/p>\n

But you see, it took me 10 years to really connect with people at our old church. It was a hard community to break into. Or maybe it was me and my black and white standards. I just couldn’t figure out why it was ok for people to do certain things and still come Worship God on a Sunday. \u00a0Still, eventually I found people I clicked with…now looking back I know that God prepared me for a season that I would need to deal with later with Lil’ A.<\/p>\n

That season had arrived.<\/p>\n

Sure, we knew a few people right off the bat. But we have way less playdates. Actually I should say, we have way less planned playdates through church groups. I have learned to be Brave and put the ball in motion. And you know what, very few people refuse a playdate:) Coffee, my kids entertained with others for a hour? Where do I sign up? I know!<\/p>\n

It’s funny how we are so sure that something will be one way, when really it isn’t. It is so much better.<\/p>\n

Lil’ A had such a hard time with going to a new class, but now she once again loves it! She asks when we are going to church. It’s been great going on Thursdays to Ladies too!<\/p>\n

“Yes,” I told Lil A. “You can go play after you eat.” I have no idea what they played, water glasses in hand, but it looked fun. My Lil’ A had made friends. It warms my heart and brings tears to my eyes…because I know that every “Hi” I give in the hallway to a passing Momma is an example to my girls.<\/p>\n

And you know what….I had a lovely day, making butterfly strings for our women’s conference and chatting with some lovely “Friends” of my own.<\/p>\n

God is good. All the time God is Good!<\/p>\n
