Glue

One of my VERY best friends had a baby today. I got on facebook and saw her little girls face and just started crying at my desk. The tears were 100% tears of joy for her! Carli and I were each others glue, keeping the other one together for the two grueling years we were in grad school. God made us friends when Lubbock was so far from all that was familiar to me. And we became instant friends.

Two years passed and school ended. We both went through some really hard fertility stuff and continued to be each others glue keeping the other together through long phone conversations, letters and prayer. Carli continues to be my "glue friend" with my current circumstance and our adoption.

She can empathize because she has been there and she knows just the right thing to say ALL the time because she has lived it in her own life! I have to believe that God puts us in situations so that we can empathize and serve as others GLUE when we feel like we are going to fall apart!!

I thank God for this sweet friend! I am glad God chooses to place just the right people in our lives at the right time!!

Congrats Lance, Carli and baby Layne!!! We love you down here in Houston!!!
