Ever had a relationship with someone that was purely over the phone, email, etc., perhaps a business relationship and have never met them in person? In this day and age, there are few people who don't have at least one relationship like this. When I worked in IL, there was a girl from a different branch with whom I spoke on the phone very frequently. Out little boys are about three weeks apart in age, so we have always taken time to compare stories...never mind the business part of our friendship. I moved from Pleasant Hill before ever meeting Jess and quite honestly, I was kind of broken up about it. She was such a kind person and had an incredibly sweet voice, plus we thought alike and just genuinely enjoyed each other's company (if you can enjoy someone's company over the phone?!). Well, I had an opportunity to meet Jess yesterday for the first time. She and Janeen were in Sioux Falls for some intense computer training, so Colby & I made a quick trip. After we met up in their motel, I used the restroom and came back out--Janeen asked me if Jess is who I pictured. I'd only seen a family Christmas picture of her last year, so my reply was, "Well, kind of..." I apparently wasn't anything like she'd imagined. Of course, I forgot to ask her if I am prettier than she was picturing or not, hahaha.
I'm just wondering whether or not my heart matches what comes out of my mouth--to people around me, to my husband, to my son, the people I speak with on the phone...do they know how much I love them, that Jesus is the Lord of my life, that I can't wait for heaven?! "May the words of my mouth, and the meditations of my heart, be pleasing to You, my God." Psalm 19:14
