Web of Connection.

Dear Tuesday, it’s me again. I hope our time apart has treated you as well as it has me.  I must admit that I’m tired but I need/want to make time for you this week.

Dear NC DMV, thanks for being sweet to me today. Until today I, like most people, dreaded coming to see you. But you made the process of renewing my license so easy and dare I say enjoyable. I must have set a new record for shortest amount of time spent in your chairs. In and out in 30 minutes?! It still blows my mind. I did learn something about you today though. If I walk in with a smile on my face and a good attitude, you’ll give me a number that is closer to being called. And if I’m pleasant to the man who helped me renew my license, he’ll be pleasant back to me. I feel as if we started a great new friendship today that few people will ever experience. Also, thank you for finally giving me a license that says that I’m older than 18, and with a picture that actually resembles me.

Dear P, it’s confession time. I told you that I’d do this so hear it is. You know that I’m a tomboy at heart, but…my friendship with you is bringing out a slightly more girly side. A side of me that I didn’t even know existed. And to confess something else, I actually really like that side of myself. Thank you for slowly coaxing that part of me out in the open. Love you, spirit twin/sister/bestie.

Dear Mrs. Peggy, I’m blown away by your generosity. To have only known you for a little over two months now and have you offer to be a mentor is just fantastic. And totally Jesus. I know that I have so much to learn from you. The way that you operate Freedom House is the way that I hope to operate my own nonprofit some day. And with your help I know that one day I will. I’m so thankful that The Lord connected us, and I knew from my initial interview with you that we would have a relationship long after I part ways with Freedom House. Thank you for taking me under your wing and thank you for being obedient to the calling The Lord put on your life.

Jesus, wow. Once again I’m amazed at this web of connections that you’ve knit me into for this season. You’ve given me so many great friends and some really great leaders to follow through this new adventure. You know that I moved here with little idea of what it would entail, but You knew how important each step I’ve taken has been. Thank you for lining all of this up and thank you for opening doors that I hadn’t even thought to knock on. That’s just something that I’ll never be able to wrap my head around, but then again if it’s You then it’s too big and too crazy for me to understand anyway. And that’s something that I’ve slowly become alright with accepting.

Tuesday, this was the shortest amount of time I’ve spent with you yet. And with it being 10pm it’s as close to a Hail Mary as I can get while writing you. I hope that your week is great and that you have time to rest enough for both of us. Until next week!
