Yes, my topic again is about time. This one is not about the waste of time, but the passing of time. As in how long it has been over a period of many days, years, etc.
Saturday night I went scrapbooking at a friends house. Something we have done for about two years! WHAT? Two years, at least once a month. Where did that time go? I feel like it was just yesterday that Meagen and I where going to Anita's. At the time if you would have told me my scrap buddy was moving in the matter of months to Fuquay-Varina I would have said two things, "Where in the world it that?" and then I would have said "yeah, right!". She probably would have said the same things at the time.
I now see it all as a God wink. Most of you have been to a Women of Faith conference and have heard the term God wink. I appreciate all the God winks in my life. See, at the time I didn't know Anita except from an occasional candle party or birthday party. We were aquanitices at the lowest level. I am so glad I can call Anita a friend today. Jen too! If I had not gone to Anita's with Meagen that night I would have missed out on so much. A couple new scrap buddies and memories of a friend that even though she isn't there (her chair is usual empty) she is missed and NEVER forgotten.
Other God winks in my life have been life changing. One of my favorites is the day I saw Mark for the first time. I was a freshman in high school and he was a senior and learned his name. SIGH! I am so glad for a few things, one I didn't make a fool out of myself (14 year old girls tend to do that you know) and the fact he graduated two weeks later. Assurance I wouldn't make a fool of myself, over him anyway.
So quite a few years later when I got a job where Meagen worked we soon became friends (another God wink). After time she mentioned this guy that was friends with her and her fiancée and that she wanted to set us up on a blind date. I would have NEVER gone, but when she said Mark I lost it. I couldn't believe it. A little God wink. Mark had no idea what he was getting into. We have been married for 11 years this February 14th and have three kids! Crazy.
So, all this to say I miss ya Meagen and God did put you in my life for a reason, or two, or three!
