four-minute friday: love and loyalty
Go.
She was walking down the hill while I was walking up it. The moment she realized it was me, she burst into tears. We hugged for a long time.
Later, at my kitchen table, we talked. I wanted to know what’s new in her world and how her heart is. We both spoke; we both cried. She asked questions, she listened, she said beautiful things that my heart needed to hear. My friend overwhelmed me with her love and loyalty.
My mind keeps going back to those moments, replaying them over and over. I can’t find words to convey how hard these days have been, and how much I needed those minutes of feeling completely grounded. Of feeling as though I have purpose.
My prayers have been laced with a mixture of emotions and extreme requests. Good thing He knows my heart.
I’m so thankful that you’re talking to Him about me.
Mmmm… That, too, is love and loyalty.
Done.
Carrying you in my heart so much right now. So grateful for the listening ears and full hearts friends like this are giving you there.
Praying He’ll keep putting His salve on your eyes (Rev. 3:18), because I know how much you want to see Him, others, and yourself with His eyes.
I am so glad you had that moment!!! You have been on my mind constantly the past couple of days and I have been praying for you! I love you ‘Leece!!!
talked about you and your boots tonight.
just thought you should know.
boots??? Intriguing…….
Loved this post!!!
I am praying for you as you continue that uphill climb.
Brewing a fresh pt of Bux Home brew to carry in my Thrive Mug today at work! My prompter! You are uplifted right now in prayer.
I love how you wrote that first sentence.
I’m so glad you have those moments.
I love you
So wonderful to hear. I don’t know how many times I’ve prayed for you these last days, Alece. Many. One prayer where words came, I prayed that you would see strength in yourself. God sees strength in you.
i love you.
and love this.
it’s moments like these that makes life good and even better it makes God so real :)
You are on my heart constantly! I feel very burdened to pray for you. Keep climbing up that hill…it gets hard, don’t give up and turn around! God will help you with your great climb! God is close to the broken hearted…love you!
Thinking of and praying for you, friend.
You’re close to my heart.
I never told you what my Alece reminder would be… partly because it’s a lot of things. Coffee breaks are one thing. Everytime I head to the G&G (a lot) I think of you. When I’m working on projects for this sexy Grit, it’s then, too.
Always? Yes.
I love you.
lemme guess… Joyce?!? I’ve been wondering how that reunion went… and now I think I know :)
yebo mama.
and i love joyce.
shes so goood.
that makes my heart happy….I love joyce and I know she has missed you soo much!
oh…when I walk to work in the morning…I take the long way (you know.by the rondavals, by your house and up past the bowl)…for a few reasons:
1. Habit– I used to go by just to see if you were in the office
2. The HILL- it is an easier walk..I am no dummy
3. To just be close in some way….it reminds me to pray for you and it keeps me grounded on why I am here in the first place…to serve.
love you.
thank you, chardonnay!
Praying for your heart to be filled with joy and peace and for you to be walking in the victory that is yours from Him. You are beloved and beautiful! Praying for you to know it deep in your skin. Love you!
(still blinking)
I love you
You didn’t answer my question in my email, but the comments to this post did! It WAS Joyce. Makes my heart happy to know you are being received in love.
