Hope Road

Tomorrow I’m saying goodbye to two of my best friends - one of them for a few weeks, one of them for months or years. Yesterday we were sitting around listening to songs about friendship, like “Every Moment” by Joy Williams and “More Than You’ll Ever Know” by Watermark, oh, and “Follow Love” by FFH - that was a killer because God is leading us in different directions and we trust Him but we will miss each other. We were getting sad so we decided to listen to some supposedly “cheesy” songs about friendship. So we turned on a true classic:

And friends are friends forever
If the Lord’s the Lord of them
And a friend will not say never
‘Cause the welcome will not end
Though it’s hard to let you go
In the Father’s hand we know
That a lifetime’s not too long
To live as friends

Now, we were thinking that the general corniness of this song would make us laugh, but then we realized that in spite of that, we were still made emotional by it! I said that I needed to blog about something, and Sarah told me that I should write about that. So this is kind of my tribute entry to my dear friends, who are currently planning my life out for me as I’m blogging . Chey and Sarah, I love you and thank you for being such blessings in my life. Friends can be friends forever!!
