Kayla, my best friend from 1st grade came up to the cities for a visit from North Carolina.  I got to meet her at Starbucks to catch up a bit on life.  It was really good to see her.  Every time I see her, no matter how long it's been, it is so easy to pick up and keep going.  I thank God for her friendship and encouragement over the years even though we don't get to see each other often.
