OK. So I had to log on real quick to post these thoughts. They apparently raced through my head all night. I got very little sleep. Not because of the thoughts but because hubby woke up early for work and the boy crawled in bed with me.
One of the first things my 9 year old daughter asked me this morning was where I was last night. I tried to explain it to her that I was at a women's conference and Lisa Whelchel was there talking and Mandie Pinto did Praise Worship and I was super excited about it. She just didn't get it. Well naturally, she's never seen "Facts" so she has no idea..... think, think, think, "Well she's to me what Amanda Cosgrove is to you" BINGO! she got it now. Then she was excited. Finally. =)
As I went through my day today; MOPS in the morning. Cleaning up before hand. Lisa's Emmit conversation was brought up often. Now I know exactly what she was talking about. Well not the child star version but the needing an Emmit. A few years ago my Best Girlfriend and I "broke-up" for lack of better terminology and I was lost, really lost. We had been BFF's for about 17 years and it was really hard to lose her. Lisa's conversation of her paid friend (counselor) and how she should maybe displace herself to instead of buckets (so as not to overwhelm one person) to glasses, or thimbles and that got me thinking. I have soooo many glasses and thimble friends all over the place. Each one I love for so many different reasons and each one I want to support when they need it.
I have grown so much since losing my friend and have gained so many friends in the process. I remember at the time praying and crying over my loss. Begging God to send me another BFF. Are you my Emmit means so much to me! Now I look around at all my friends and see so many Emmits! I love you all. =) OK. I just had to share my thoughts . Now time to get the kids!
Until Next Time, SoCal Marisa
