you make a difference (my friend, georgia clifton)

God puts people into our lives & i'm taking the time to appreciate one of great significance to me. she didn't have to be my friend or help me in a variety of areas, BUT she did! in this post, i'd like to express my gratitude to georgia, because i believe it's very important to let our friends know what they mean to us.

georgiame,

thank you for:

caring for me when i felt as a lost cause

praying for me consistently

pointing me to Jesus in all situations

being patient as i get frustrated & angry

always answering my questions & addressing my numerous issues

giving me practical ways to "re-wire"

giving me scriptures to meditate/memorize to speak over my life

recommending the right books @ exactly the right time

believing me when i speak of incidents from the past

helping me see "beyond" the past & putting it to rest

helping me see my bondage to "the performance trap"

helping me see that i knew grace in my head, but not in my soul/heart

helping me see that i feared & doubted that God is in control

and the list goes on.......

please know that you are greatly valued by me & that you have been greatly gifted.

you are my friend & i'm really happy about that!!!

I'd like to take a moment to agree with jaybird that Georgia ROCKS! :)
(Lime Perrier, however, I have my doubts about that...)
