Words from God through Emily

I went home (or to the home that I am house-sitting right now) for lunch... I'm having some issues with my new phone and had to go get the paperwork so I can return it for a new one... only to learn that all the alltel stores are closed for MLK. Wonderful!!!

I logged onto my e-mail to see that my friend Emily had written on my facebook wall. (Terrible, but wonderful addiction.) She's a friend through a friend, and I love her... I just don't see her often. It had been probably a year or so since I saw her before this last time over the holidays... so that tells you about our relationship. We live in the same town, but have different lives. Kinda sad when put that way...

Anyways... this is what she wrote me...

Just wanted to encourage you with a verse that's meant a lot to me this week!
Lamentations 3:22-25
Because of the LORD's great love we are not consumed,
for his compassions never fail.
They are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness.
I say to myself, "The LORD is my portion;
therefore I will wait for him."
The LORD is good to those whose hope is in him,
to the one who seeks him;
Love you!

That was her note. We're friends... and I share my heart freely with her when we're together, but we don't have a lot of moments together. But she has no idea what God has been doing in my heart. She has no idea how much I needed to read this today. She didn't... but God did. (I also cheated/stalked and looked to see if she wrote it on other people's walls... and nope.. just me!)

Isn't it cool how God does things like that!!!

I need to work on my schedule and make time for this friend. I love her!
