My Best Friends and My Best Friend Forever

So just this past week one of my Best Friends left for the front lines of the Christian War!! She is doing Gods work in a part of the world that has the most amount of REAL Christians...but also the most persecution. I pray for that person everyday!! My other two best friends are just now returning from a three week holiday. And I missed them soooooo much!!!! Ever since I have met them they have been constantly challenging me to be the Christian that God wants me to be. I treasure these young lady's very much...they're kinda like sisters to me. And they probably won't ever realise how much they mean to me!! I have to keep reminding myself, though, to make time for my Best Friend Forever, Jesus. When we came to London four years ago there were no girls my age at church. And when I turned 13 I became a Sunday school teacher. This actually made the younger girls gravitate towards me more. When I turned 15 last year the Lord sent a girl of about 26 to our church. She later moved into our house, and now resides in our library! :) Two other girls came to our church soon after. Florie is 28 and is studying homeopathy. Corre ( 28)is a chemical engineer and a pianist. They all have had their ways of encouraging me in my spiritual walk with God!! I have recently begun to put two and two together. And I realised that God sent these girls when I needed them. The teen years are a struggle, and that's why He sent them to me now and not when I was 13 and was just starting to learn to see God as my Best Friend Forever!!!! Seriously!!!!!! I love the verse In Proverbs 18:24 that says " There is a friend that sticks closer than a brother." Wow!!!!!!!!
