Life comes in many colors. I think in the past month I've seen the rainbow spread across mine. From wedding planning to new jobs I think I've experienced more than my fair share of "tasting the rainbow" (punny I know). My best friends from childhood are both getting married within months of each other! In many ways its hard to grasp! However, seeing the man that God created and designed specifically for each of them hard to put into words. Each are unique and have different characteristics and qualities about them. Which just proves that their significant others are tailored to match them exactly. I am so excited to celebrate these moments with them this summer. I figured I could share a little of that with you.
Courtney and I's friendship started with knee kicker soccer. We fortunately lived down the street from each other so were able to play often. We never attended the same school so when Court stopped playing soccer and pursued basketball our friendship became more of acquaintances, occasionally running into each other here and there.
God knew what he was doing though. I attended college at Colorado State in Fort Collins and Court was at Metro State in Denver. She decided to transfer not knowing anyone but myself. A few things fell through with my roommate situation and we were looking for a third. Court just so happened to contact me at that time. I am so thankful she did. I look back at my college career and couldn't have done it without her. She's my "lil boy twirp." I lived life with someone who is quick to listen and slow to speak, but when she does its wisdom. She has a huge heart and goes extra lengths to show she cares. I admire the way she loves selflessly and gives her time generously. I'm so happy she found Mr. Nick. There is no one better suited for her.
Brittany and I have been best friends since kindergarten. Believe it. The first day of kindergarten we sat across the table from each other and since that day we've been buds. We went to school together from kindergarten to 8th grade, until I switched high schools. We were still attached at the hip. I was so proud, and still am to call her my best friend.
I love seeing God work in friendships. Britt chose a small college in Hastings, Nebraska to play volleyball. Although we weren't close in location our relationship was still the same. We talked once or twice a week about college life. Britt was hit with some pretty traumatic experiences that led her home. She decided to transfer to CSU our junior year of college. I would never have pictured us attending the same college yet God had other plans. We weren't able to live together at the time since her decision to transfer was a little late. However, she moved in with some of my closest friends. Britt and I know share the best group of friends anyone could ask for. I am the woman I am today because of her. She has a servant heart and is ready and willing to be by your side whenever needed. She loves to love and shows you that through conversation. She flourishes when she is able to give advice and pray for others. I'm thankful for who she is and who she has become. I couldn't have chosen a better soft hearted, loving man for her then Chris.
All in all, I feel blessed beyond belief to have these two women in my life. I love living life with them. They show grace, mercy, and love so selflessly. I see Jesus in them daily. My faith grows a lot stronger when I able to recognize His love displayed through them. Thanks best friends.
