Cockroach on wheels placed in my shoe… crazy grown up kids… I eventually displayed it on my yellow crocs… funny…
The cockroach on wheels was one of two specific items that remind me of friend L. H. – both crossed my eyes on the same day while cleaning my house. She gifted to me this cockroach on wheels into my shoe, during one woman’s retreat in our shared bathroom, now on my memorabilia windowsill and also the now framed beautiful cloth from Africa where she was a missionary. Back in the states, she continued with beautiful sharing at our women’s retreats and everywhere – I love her Spirit – gently and strong… She was a non-‘bible thumper’ in my concern of missionaries being that… she was gentle and she shared as much about her family as I did about mine – God does give us all perspective… God gives us friends…
I thought I would share this memory… Yes, 8 plus years ago, I couldn’t wait to share my new awakening with her, but she threw her back out so we couldn’t meet for lunch – that was Jan 30th for Feb 1st lunch, my awakening day, so much God stuff happened that day… and since she threw her back out, guess what? I had to write out that I accepted Jesus. God made me write all about my awakening to her. I subsequently put it in a blog – months after…
My writing is much more compact these days, this is from 2015, I just thank the Lord for making me write:
Please click on the link to understand how friendship allows the openness of sharing the Lord. I’m blessed to share.
