When You Get What You Prayed For...
I Thessalonians 5:11 I intentionally prayed for friends a couple of years back. Friends who loved and pursued God, someone I could safely reveal personal details with encouraged me and more importantly, held me accountable. About a year and a half ago, a fellow co worker was engaged and in the process of planning her wedding. Being a wedding fanatic and watching countless episodes of Say Yes to the Dress plus having an impressive wedding Pinterest board (according to me, that is) made me a homemade professional, I had to ask about her plans and details about her upcoming nuptials. That grew into us becoming friends and learning more about each other. I learned she loved and pursued God. I learned I could safely reveal personal details. She was encouraging and more importantly, she held me accountable. I told her many things; how I wanted to decrease my spending habits and save money, how I planned on losing weight, how I wanted to pursue different hobbies and careers.
