Ever just have a great conversation with a friend you haven’t spoken to in a while? Lately I have been feeling lonely, and it is not for lack of friendship. I have really great friends here and really great people who I get to hangout with. I am not craving friendship, what I am in desperate need of is fellowship. The unity that comes from spending quality time with someone of like mind, a kindred spirit so to speak. I have five very close friends who fit that description. People who have walked through fires with me, and I with them (Shannon, Amy, Erica, Linda, Stephanie, and Christmas, aka Chrimma) opps seems as though I can’t count… six, six very close friends from who I have learned a lot 😉 . Today I had the awesome joy of talking with one of these awesome ladies (the one I get into the most trouble with), Christmas. It was like having water poured into my thirsty soul. The bible talks about the importance of having fellowship one with another, true fellowship. Today after my conversation with my friend I felt refreshed, renewed. She reminded me of things I knew, but had forgotten. I told her about what God was teaching me, what He was doing. I told her about how I was scared, but willing because I know it is God that is doing the leading. Then she said this, “You said this to me once and it is something I have always remembered. Go where the peace is.” I had forgotten that saying. But it’s so true. There are times when the future you are walking into seems so unrealistic, but yet you have this unexplainable peace that this is the right direction. I call it God-peace, because only God can make the uncertain seem certain. Today I took a breath and released all my stress and all my fears to God. The choice I have made does scare me, but I also have peace, God-peace. And if God is for me, what have I to fear? Thanks Chrimma I needed that.

“Like cold water to a thirsty soul, so is good news from a far country” (Proverbs 25:25).

So what’s my plan. Go where the peace is.
