over coffee

today I skipped exercise
to
talk,
grow,
share,
learn,
love.
with a friend.

Claire started out as my employer;
we met the day she moved to my hometown,
and as I spent the last three years of my life nannying for her,
we have let each other into our lives.

today we discussed our daily joys and struggles,
and the promises of our God.

I've often heard it said,
"God puts people in our lives for a reason",
and although it sounds cliche,
today was an awe-inspiring reminder of
how He designs our lives
and intentionally forms our paths.
Praise God!

"Now to Him who is able to do far more abundantly beyond all that we ask or think, 
according to the power that works within us, 
to Him be the glory in the church 
and in Christ Jesus to all generations forever and ever. Amen."
Ephesians 3:20&21
