Making friends has never been something I'm great at. I have had more friends then not that I get really close to and then have a falling out with, move away from or loose contact with. I have a handful of very sweet friends I have been blessed with in my adult life and I consider them a GREAT blessing to me.
When we moved back to North Platte my greatest sadness leaving Kearney was the good support system we had gained and the wonderful young wives group I had formed. I had true friends for really the first time in my life and I was leaving.......Then God gave me Chasity! What a sweet sweet friend she is! She was my first friend in North Platte and really, almost all my friendships I have formed since, have had some kind of connection with her. She has been known to talk me down from the ledge of insanity (ok maybe she didn't get there in time), share recipes for dinner, tricks of the trade for daycare, a shoulder to cry on when life is rough and really just someone I can let my hair down with. I'm talking rolling on the ground laughing, pulling hair out crying, raw feelings exposed and prayer kind of friendship. It's good stuff. It's God stuff. It's Fun stuff!
In Proverbs 18:24 it says: A man of many companions may come to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.
She is one of these friends. She is my sister, my support, my companion.
Because she has 4 kids and I have 2 and we both work 7:30-5:30 five days a week time together is sweet and precious and usually happens after 8pm.
It had been about 3 months since her sweet baby girl was born and about the same amount of time since we got together, so we declared a Girls night. It was calendar official and everything!
Two mamas and a mini van just singing our hearts out, letting our hair down.....
