Today, I read an e-mail from a great friend just as she was supposed to do a phone interview. I had to opportunity to pray for her in the moment. I also sent her an e-mail back telling her I had prayed. Later, she called to let me know how things went. As it turns out, she interviewed after I prayed and not during. I know it helped to know someone was praying. You can pray for her as she looks for a job in a very tough market.
Talking with her, I was reminded that friends can truly be "Jesus with skin on" here on Earth. Later this afternoon, my daughter had a Skype chat with one of her good friends. Listening to them talk and laugh was another reminder of the goodness of friendship. I'm trying to work on ways for my daughter and son to make some friends out here. I've contacted a couple of homeschool groups. We visit the park for them to play with other kids. Without them being in school, it is hard to make friends. Our church here is great, but has a lot of single people. The children's ministry is growing, so who knows. Our sweet friends from Arkansas should be here soon, God willing. Two other families that we know will be here in February as well. Of course with our schedule as of late, we would not have been around to enjoy those friendships if they were here now. I pretty sure once pilot season ramps up we will all be pretty busy auditioning. At least we hope, that is why we are out here!
