Being single means that I can be available to be there for my friends {and family}. Tonight my dear friend needed me to be there to encourage and comfort her 2 sons while she & her hubby sat with their 5-year old at the E.R. waiting for stitches.
An amazing God moment in this is that I typically shut off my cellphone around 9:30 each night. Not on the 21st. On the 21st, I was binge-reading the third and sadly final book of Lynn Austin's Restoration Chronicles. Nehemiah was rebuilding the wall around Jerusalem.
When my cellphone rang, I thought for sure it was going to be a gab-fest. Instead I was greeted with a slightly frantic momma who needed me to change out of my jammies and put on my Super Angie superhero getup { Read: Jeans and a hoodie. } and come stay with her 2 eldest boys.
It's funny because I remember changing into clothes and I remember praying for the sweet 5-year old and her parents...yet, when I got in the car and started driving, I had to check and make sure I was dressed. Not that I was NOT dressed...but was I wearing slippers? Did I put on socks? Did I grab my glasses?
Being there. That's what this world needs. That's what I need. And tonight I got to be there.
