and her name is Beth! Funny how sometimes you find friends when you were least expecting it and from places you were least expecting them to come. But after a three hour chat over coffee I realized God had this planned from the start. He knew I needed someone with whom I could share a common background and a common lifestyle. He also knew I needed someone who was a bit further ahead to give me hope that I can do this. I have to say watching and listening to her talk motivated a lot! And on the same note, gave a safe place I could say, “Yeah, this is hard.” So Beth if you ever read this–I am so THANKFUL for you. God sent you along right when I needed someone to which I could relate and could relate to me. Thank you for being open and your kind words! I will be praying for you throughout this semester!! Good luck with all you will be doing and thanks again for the chat over coffee!! It was great!

Wow–how amazing! Thanks so much for the post, it meant so much to me! I came away from our chat encouraged and ready to start this semester with new enthusiasm! Thank YOU for being willing to talk with me. I am so thankful that God has brought us to this common place in our lives. It's wonderful to have a friend that can truly understand some of the things I am going through and struggling with. Thank you! I hope we get the chance to chat often this semester–you know you can call anytime you want to talk, and I will do the same! 🙂 You're in my prayers, Amanda, and I know that God is going to bless you with indescribable gifts this semester as you continue to follow Him and HIS will! 🙂 Love ya!!!
