It was planned for weeks, but happened to occur at the exact right point in time. (Funny how things work out like that.) I had the opportunity to meet with her for a Mom's Playdate. You know the type of event that is, right? If not, I'll fill you in :) It's where the moms like to sit on park benches and have ((much needed)) theraputic, heart to heart, woman to woman conversations about grown-up topics while they repetitively shoo away the children who are supposed to be enjoying park amenities but are instead interrupting the ((much needed)) discussion every few seconds for one thing or another.
Through the blog world, I had become quite a fan of Jennifer. The subjects she would write about and they way she would express herself really resonated with me and I developed admiration and respect for her.
She shared some thoughts and ideas today that did wonders to validate and to help me begin to alleviate the guilt, fear, and pressure I have been recently facing. I'm sure she didn't even realize how much it helped me altar my perspective and expectations.
I praised God all the way home - for His perfect timing - for the sisterhood of friendship that is entirely unique and so vitally necessary to us as women, moms, wives, adoptive parents - for wise words spoken in precisely the right moments - for knowing exactly what we need - and for providing good gifts that serve to uplift our souls when they grow weary. Thank you.

He always seems to have perfect timing! Everytime I seem to be struggling with something, our church magazines come and have an article about that very thing! He speaks to us through others ALL the time! So glad you were able to have that time with someone who could help you in your time of need!
Now you've got me all curious! You're SO sweet and I SO loved meeting with you and I SO look forward to doing it again! :)
