There's this lady I know, who is a blessing that can't be correctly described by any amount of fluffy words typed in a blog post... but this is my best attempt.
My introduction to Kami Jo was ordained by Jesus. A time when I needed a shoulder to cry on, listening ear, and laugh provider. She's everything that is wonderful, and she's my friend. I believe that everyone needs someone in their life that has more life experience then they do that can relay advice and encouragement that only someone who has been through similar instances could share.. yes this is me saying someone older but this isn't me calling Kami old ;) The last 3 years of my life have been full of transitions; physically, educationally, emotionally, and spiritually. Kami Jo has been a constant, unwavering staple throughout all of them. She has listened to me whine when things weren't going my way, prayed with me when my heart was hurting, and celebrated with me when blessings rolled in.
One of my favorite things to do with Kami, is dream with her. As life happens and things change, my dreams get bigger and bigger. She listens and indulges in the planning, and then always assures me with "I can't wait until that happens...". From furniture to baby names... we've discussed it all.
The absolute BEST part of my friendship with Kami, is the assurance that it's one that will last forever. Knowing that our friendship is anchored in our Savior, is the BEST blessing of all. Jesus, without a doubt, ordained this friendship before the making of this Earth, and I'm so thankful that he did!
Kammer,
Thank you for being the friend I need all the time! For laughing and crying with me, including me in the lives of your children and the rest of your family... for giving it to me straight and always encouraging me in the right direction. Thank you for teaching me that even when I don't understand, God is good, and reminding me that I don't have to know it all!
You're my favorite small footed gangster, and my sister in Christ.
Happy Birthday! I love you!

ReplyDeleteawe....this is so very sweet -- and I am a little jealous - as only a mother could be, when she hears that her baby has this incredible friend, and believes and knows that God planned it that way! Happy birthday Kami - wishing you God's richest blessings for your birthday and the rest of the year as well. I typed this EXACT same comment a few moments ago and it posted 2x so I deleted one of the comments and I see it deleted them both and now I see...it says, 'this comment was deleted by the author'...oh geez....anyway -- bless you! I am blessed to have you speak into my girl's life- thank you! - michelle
