Encouragement...

We all have an online friend that we have never met in person but email & talk to on the phone once in a while. Well, my online friend was going through a really hard time this week and talked to me a lot. After spending time talking this week, my online friend had some very strong words of encouragement for me and I just had to share them with you too... Even though the storm seems long & hard now, there is great things in store for you because you are a terrific lady. God has someone very special for you & you just need to ride out this storm. Why we go through rough times & have to go through bad storms, God only knows. You are a really special lady, with a really big heart!

Now why does it take someone that we only somewhat know to encourage us?! Where are our friends during the good times?... they seem to want to pop up during the bad times but where are they when things are just rocking along?! Do we really encourage each other enough in our day to day walk?
