One student, one teacher and one missionary. First one knew the second one, and the second one knew the third one more than the first one. It was our age that brought us together in the beginning. The similar stage of life with its typical questions and battles. We decided to meet regularly.
Every second week we met in a café just talking and sharing. After two months we needed/wanted more. Our meetings moved to Laura's apartment. We had more privacy and besides talking we started to pray for each other. What a great idea to fight one for the other in all levels of being! It brought us lot of encouragement and joy!
Laura, Susan and Darina (LSD) became friends.
our only common picture, btw
It is always a miracle when a deep friendship is born. Those moments you chat, laugh at the same jokes, look into one's eyes and just know the answer without saying anything...those moments I call gift. Friend is a family I can choose. Even Solomon said that "a friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for a time of adversity".
Laura dreamed a dream for me which became reality.
Susan took my cross when I couldn't carry on.
We've learned to say the ugly truths in a nice way.
I've just realized how never all three of us were ok at the same time. But that makes it special! Because when we were completely down, at least one of us had a good phase, so she could encourage others.
Nowadays each of us lives in a different continent, so it's hard to speak about regular meetings. And yet, I am sure that if I sent a "one LSD shot, please!" message today, they would know what to do.
Girls, thank you!!!
