The Phone Call

I got an unexpected phone call from an old friend today.  She was my maid-of-honor at my wedding and my best friend, and I haven't seen her in five years.  We've rarely communicated in any way over the last several years.  Mostly, because we both moved away from Maryland - me here to the Outer Banks, she moved to Florida.  But also, just because life gets that way. It's a shame, but it's true.  Keeping up with friends is tough when your lives go in different directions.  We made plans to get together this summer because there's no way to catch up from five years on the phone.  It made me so happy to hear from her and to make plans for a get-together.  I found God in that phone call from out-of-the-blue.
