You know it! That's how I measure friendships - they are either a kindred spirit or not.

Can you tell I need structure? Over the years of growing closer to the Lord, being married to a very spontaneous what's-a-to-do-list-man, kids and their friends, animals, and you name it—I've come to discover something. If God and my other relationships are my first priority on the list, the rest of the stuff works out. When I get interrupted, I have learned to ask, "Yes, Lord?" It helps me turn down my frustration level. Simple formula: "Seek first the Kingdom of God." <br />Thanks for the reminder. I needed it. I'll write it on my To-do list :)Beckie Lindseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14577965060772418026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2907737240492304428.post-91880743917939925642017-03-11T16:46:27.473-05:002017-03-11T16:46:27.473-05:00Katie: What a precious glimpse of God's love f...Katie: What a precious glimpse of God's love for us when He interrupts our regularly scheduled days to grant us the desire of our hearts. I can't help but think that you might be an Anne of Green Gables fan, too -- "kindred spirit"? I love those kinds of friends! :)Beth K.

I am so encouraged by that because I really respect her and this looks like the opportunity to build a meaningful friendship. I've been looking for a bosom friend and kindred spirit lately, and I think she is one. I'm learning friendship is a valuable thing, that God orchestrates these things and as I delight in Him He grants the desires of my heart.Katie Dalehttp://bipolarbrave.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2907737240492304428.post-66223507929449827262017-03-11T16:22:48.561-05:002017-03-11T16:22:48.561-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05577068703052733309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2907737240492304428.post-17287012228296499162017-03-11T08:29:09.728-05:002017-03-11T08:29:09.728-05:00Amen, Beth.

She does not know Jesus. I spent time with her, my husband cooked her favorite foods. The Spirit impressed on my heart, "writing can wait. You are the only Jesus she sees."She is coming back to spend the month of April with us. We are excited to show her God's love again. I'm getting extra writing done now, if God allows.truthtoshine.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05911184699045569514noreply@blogger.com
