A Voice That Soothes From the Past

This day has been wonderful for me. I've been able to really relax for the first time in a little while and take care of myself. After accomplishing the feat of building my new bookshelf, I wondered what I could possibly do this weekend to come close to meeting the feat of last week. I took a bath that felt wonderful which helped. But, what really made this day one worth remembering was the fact that I was able to reconnect with one of my closest friends today.

She and I have left deep imprints on each other's lives and being able to talk with her was amazing. Heh, amazing is one of the words she uses to describe me all the time. I wonder if her words are too kind, but at the same time, I'm grateful that she says them as boldly and honestly as she does. It didn't feel like she and I hadn't had much contact in over a year as we talked to each other. I will never stop being amazed at how well Heavenly Father knows me and the things that I need in my life. Hearing this friends' voice was paramount among the things that I've needed in my life. Rarely do I recognize His hand as quickly as this, but it's still amazing to me that He knows me like He does.

I haven't had a terrible week this week, and my life has reached a relative stable point. Still, being able to catch up a little with her has made my week that much better. I feel that much better.
