"OLD" friends

God is good. This past Monday I was able to pick up my friend Suellen from the airport at BWI and take her to Harrisburg PA. We were able to get together for a brief time of fellowship. Suellen and I met when we joined ABWE together in 2000. She was an instant kinder spirit. It helped that she was an "I" too. Those of you who have taken the disk test will understand. Monday we were able to share in each others joys and learn each others sorrows. I do read her emails but I did enjoy hearing how God was working with and through her in her ministry.
As I write this I have also learned that God has allowed one of my good "old" college buddies to also have the opportunity to move to Washington State. Shirlee Mccoy. (You might have read one of her books. One of her new books her character is named "Martha Gabler" imagine that.) Shirlee and I actually met in Thailand before I was a Christian. We became good friends in college. She is one of my spiritual mothers. I will miss her even though I don't spend much time with her, but I know this will give me the opportunity to visit Washington State.
God is good because he allows us to make new friends along our journey, but to also keep the "old" friends too. I am thankful for all the good "new" friends I have in Mexico!! But am thankful for my "old" friends too.
