A Photo Memory or 2!

Wow, where does the time go?! In 2000 I headed off to Heartland Baptist Bible College to start my freshman year! It was really a great year, I believe mostly because of my roomies-Becky McCracken and Lindsay Benson(Lusk)! We had so much fun, roommate bonding days where we went to McDonalds for every meal, did Mary Kay pedicures and facials, pumped air into an inflatable couch and took it back to our dorm room in a Cougar...with all of us in the vehicle as well! Sometimes at night, after lights out I would crawl into Becky's bed and we would just talk and look at pics of her at the time "crush"! I remember laying in bed, talking after lights out while Lindsay was doing her homework...then smelling something weird and realizing there was smoke coming from her pillow that had caught fire from her reading lamp! Those times happened ten years ago...now fast forward ten years! Lindsay and I are both married...Becky will be married this summer! I am married to a missionary to Norway, Lindsay and her husband are actually back at HBBC, getting ready for her husband to graduate and seek the Lord's will for where He will have them to go and to be honest I just know Becky works at a hospital and her husband to be works at Heartland I am not sure what the Lord has planned for them. I am just grateful that the Lord allowed me to remain friends with the girls who made my freshman year so memorable. Though we all did lose touch with another at some point the Lord allowed us to "find" one another again...I believe the Lord knows the people we need in our lives. I am truly grateful for my friendship with Lindsay-we have so much in common, we are traveling the same journey in a very personal aspect and the Lord knew I needed someone like her to walk on this personal journey with, she understands me in a way others can never understand. Becky will always be the one that gives us the laugh or the smile we need along the way, she has the joy of the Lord and a very real walk with the Lord. Ten years ago, the Lord knew that today I would need Becky and Lindsay in my life and I praise the Lord that He sees the big picture!
