strangers

a note from a stranger

my dear friend, Emma, received this note from a cashier after a lunch out.
a stranger paid for her meal.

these noteworthy moments are inspiring to say the least..

but how often do we overlook the random acts of kindness?
or surpass an opportunity to perform one,
because we doubt the impact that it will have.

my mentor has written about me on her blog for two years.
her readers have been praying for me
and leaving comments of encouragement..
I even recieved a doll that one reader
hand made for me!

the kindness of strangers overwhelms my heart,
and fills me with joy and hope.

therefore, be encouraged today--surprise a stranger with kindness!

"An anxious heart weighs down a man, but a kind word cheers him up."
-Proverbs 12:25  

a hero of sorts

I had dinner tonight with a very special friend,

my mentor.

I call her kp.

she hates capital letters and snakes.

she loves Jesus, nutella, reading, 

and her girl.

she has shown me unconditional love

when I needed it the most..

even when i didn't want it.

she listens to me

laughs with me

cries for me

and covers me in prayer

the full story of our friendship will come later..

however,

I'd like to share just a few things that I 

love

about my mentor:

1: her hugs

2: the way she listens

3: she laughs at my jokes

4: she's incredibly smart

5: she makes me feel genuinely loved and accepted

Proverbs 27:17 As iron sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens a friend.
