I have made many online friends since I have started blogging. Yes, I call some friends because we keep in touch by e-mail and Facebook. A few of us even text and call each other. I feel like God has sent some of these wonderful people into my life for a reason. Whether it is for me to pray for them or to encourage them, I am thankful that God has chosen me to be a part of their life.
One of these wonderful blogging buddies just happens to live about 2 hours from me. Her name is Lena and she blogs at Lovin’ My Crazy Life.
She and her family took a family drive on Saturday and headed this direction. I was honored to have Lena and her family come visit for a couple of hours. We enjoyed the visit so much! Our children hit it right off and they played wonderfully for the time while they were here.
We are both planning to go to the 2:1 Conference together in Sterling, VA, in April. We will be traveling and rooming together. I am looking forward to getting to know Lena a little more while we travel. It will definitely be a fun time for the two of us!
Our next get together will be my family heading to her area next. I don’t know who is more excited, me or the kids!
We actually thought to get a picture of us together! Isn’t Lena beautiful? She is beautiful on the inside and out! I am learning to accept my picture being taken, regardless of how I look. This is a big step for me. Learning to accept who God made me to be!
Love, love, love this Joy!
