We have moved many times now, in our 17 years in the Air Force--always leaving precious friends behind--but always being provided for by our loving Lord! And so the old campfire song is true: make new friends, and keep the old; one is silver and the other is gold. <BR/>And you will be AMAZED at how the Lord will allow you to cross paths wtih these friends in unexpected ways! We have been experiencing that over and over--it is truly amazing how the Lord orchestrates these things (maybe I need a lesson or two in organization from Him...? LOL). <BR/>Here is a cool story of meeting old friends again. We were stationed in Boston with our friends Chris and Mo (you may wonder which is the guy and whihc is the girl? LOL Chris is the guy.) back in 95-97. Then we moved, and then they moved, etc. Well, they separated from the Air Force, so the chances of us meeting again through moving in the AF was gone, and also so was the chance of seeing each other again, most likely. GUESS WHAT?! Through some REALLY totally God organizing (He's so good at this!) we are actually going to be stationed in Rhode Island (where there is NO Air Force Base)--my husband will be attending Naval War College for a year, and we will be living TWELVE MINUTES from our friends whom we never thought to see again!! <BR/>We cannot help but wonder what the Lord is doing, as we had shared the gospel with this couple and spent much time with them, we are still very close--and now He is bringing us together again--so please pray that in this next year we will be a shining light to them and be gently bold in the Lord! And that the Lord would soften their hearts. <BR/>ok, this is really long, but maybe you don't mind :). <BR/>Warmly,<BR/>Mrs. Greenegreenehouse2003https://www.blogger.com/profile/10956676597026605187noreply@blogger.com
