A friend loveth at all times... Proverbs 17:17

This post is dedicated to Erika:

“Some people come into our lives and quickly go. Some stay for awhile and leave footprints on our hearts. And we are never, ever the same.”

Erika: Your friendship to me is more valuable than money, worth more than diamonds, and is more meaningful than a great gift. I am truly grateful that we have been brought together.

You always: are full bright smiles, a good laugh, a song on the tip of your tongue, and dedication. You have a great passion for things you love, persistence in languages. I admire your Godly example, your big heart, your strength to pull through, your willingness to help in whatever way. You are truly a beautiful woman- inside AND out!

I love our times that we've had together- the talks, the laughs, the tears, the heart-to-hearts, the similarities, the trips to school together, our impromptu "concerts," our coffee date(s), sharing our- frustrations accomplishments, desires, anticipations, dreams, talking together about experiences we've had and the circumstances and teachings brought from reading or God's speaking. our chats through the computer because of the thousands of miles that separate us, and much much more.

I thank God for our friendship- He surely knew what he was doing. I'm excited to see how he leads us through the future!

A friend loveth at all times... Proverbs 17:17 Isn't that for sure!! :)

Thank you Erika
