Now I will have to send Anita a link to this blog...she wouldn't just happen upon this herself.
Tonight I had the opportunity to celebrate the birthday of a dear friend. It was great to surprise her and be a part of a group of ladies whose sole purpose this evening was to ensure the celebration of her life. Although we are separated by more than 30 years in age, we are sisters in Christ...family. And that is an amazing reality. I have been blessed to know Anita since we arrived in Minneapolis, but in the recent years, she has been a true blessing as mentor and dear friend.
What causes us to choose to enter the life of another person? Why do we intersect in such a meaningful way with some but not with others? What is it about the words of certain people that cut through the crap inside of our hearts and allow us to hear the voice of truth?
Certain relationships have an impact on our lives that we cannot always put into words...even as a "wordy" person, I am struggling to describe this...and therein lies the rub, really. For if we cannot describe the way another impacts us, how can we duplicate the experience and do the same for others? And the real question is this....can this happen without the impact of Christ in our own lives?
