Answered Prayer

I'll never forget the day I prayed to God to send me some true, authentic friends. I was at the light at Clarkston Road and Main Street in the Village of Clarkston. I had friends but for some reason there was something missing. I had a lot of acquaintances but longed for something more. This was years ago. It was probably about the time I started "Believing God" and trusting Him and His Word. That's when He began to reveal Himself to me in a way that was different than anything I had known. It wasn't long before we met these friends. God orchestrated a meeting at our church called, "Marriage Builders". We've become such close friends through the years and I learned what true friendship was all about. I had never had anyone pray for me over the phone. I have to admit it felt very strange and awkward at first. We've spent a lot of time with these couples over the years and now they seem like family. I am so blessed by them and know for sure God is responsible for these sweet friendships and I'm grateful for each one of them!

I pray you all have friends like The Nawroki's, The Schuberts and The Rhodes'.
God is SO good!
Love,
Angie xoxo

p.s. Happy 40th Birthday, Paula!

There really is nothing like a true friend in Christ! I have been blessed in that area, and I am so happy that you have also!

And, just so you know..I consider you a good-friend-in-Christ-that-I-have-never-met-IRL-but-talk-to-almost-daily-and-am-blessed-to-be-able-to-blog-with-and-maybe-we-won't-see-each-other-till-Heaven-but-maybe-our mansions-will-be-on-the-same-street-...the-one-paved-with-gold!

Annie,
It is also because you are such a good friend to your friends, that you are blessed with such good friends! They are blessed to call you their friends.

It is totally beautiful to see this spiritual transformation in you over the past several years. God is so good!

Love,
Goose

God is so good to provide such dear friends. Your sister is right--it is because you are such a good friend that you have others that call you friend back. And I know what you mean about genuine. You are the real thing. You bless me, my friend. Love, Annette
