I'm so thankful for the opportunity to spend the week-end in the Outer Banks with some very dear sisters-in-Christ. I had met two in person but had contact with the others through blogging and Facebook over the last few years. It was wonderful to immediately connect as though we had been friends all our lives. But that's the beauty of fellowship in Christ. All the things that are different about us, and there are many, seem insignificant to what we have in common in Him. We didn't do any sightseeing but spent the time just being together. We laughed, enjoyed Stephanie's wonderful cooking, drank coffee (and tea), ate chocolate and chips, talked A LOT, shared some of our stories, wept together, and prayed for one another. It was a beautiful time.
