There are few days in your life when something
people say is life altering. Sometimes maybe
you don’t know it, but one sunny day, on my way to Buckley after getting home
from Haiti, one phone call changed my life.
“I have to tell you something, can you come over
on Monday? I need to tell you in person. “ I Knew she wasn’t pregnant. So no new muffins. I actually thought I did something
wrong. You know I am always saying
things that are dumb and mildly (or more than mildly) inappropriate. And then it came… We are moving, she couldn’t wait. And I cried.
It was a day my life changed. You
know what other date my life changed? The first day I met her, and we didn’t
even belong to the same youth ministry.
I’ll never forget her cute self, the kind of person that you think can’t
possibly be that real. After years and
years of being friends, I can tell you, she is as real as it gets.
I am thankful for her friendship, and while I
love love love The Boys, I will tell you, I go to visit my friend. She is encouraging and fun, and I am never
afraid to try new things with her. I
tried the incline, climbing Red Rocks (both ALMOST killed me), found out I love
paddle boarding.
My friend Katie is a great example of loving
Jesus, working hard, being a great mom, and a great advocate for her
children. My friend Katie has taught me
to love bigger and stronger because she teaches me to love like Jesus because
she lives by example.
1 Cor 11:1 Follow my example, as I follow the example
of Christ
