Old Friends...Become New Again Mood
Wednesday, July 9, 2008 | A Breaking News story
God blessed me with a wonderful gift last week.
My best childhood friend and I were brought back together again.
I poured out my heart in an email to her, and I share it with you now...

Peggi,
I truly believe that God brought us together that day, I felt such an amazing connection with you that it really blew my mind.
We've both grown and changed so much, we're in a place now where we can experience our friendship on a much deeper level than we have in the past.

As we talked that day, I could literally feel the difference between now and then.
In the past, it felt like there was a wall between us...
One which kept each other at a distance.
Walls build by lack of trust, fear of judgement,ect..
It just seemed as if our friendship was kept at a surface level back then.

Throughout the years, I've often mourned the closeness we had as girls, and wondered how we could have grown so much apart after being such close friends.
But I've learned to accept the fact that some relationships are only meant to go so far, and I thought we had hit that marker, and were just meant to move on.
How happy I am to see that I was wrong...
My heart is filled with so much joy because we've been blessed to find one another again...
In the right time, in the right place...God gives us miracles, when we're ready.

Life is a journey,and I can't tell you how ecstatic I am to be on this new path with you.

Now, with that said...
Don't ever worry about "unloading your troubles" on me.
That's what true friendship is all about...
Sharing and true openness.
Without that, we would miss out on the greatest blessings that friendship entails.
I believe that life is all about the connections we make with other souls.
We Learn lessons from each other, we find personal growth through the wisdom and support of our friendships.
We discover strength by leaning on each other.

Through loving others, we learn to be loved.
We learn to accept nothing less, because....
We learn to love ourselves...
We begin to see all the goodness we have inside of us, through the eyes of friends who love and appreciate us for who we are, flaws and all.
We stop hiding inside ourselves, we learn to let go of fear, fear of rejection and judgement.
We become free to be who we really are.
We go through the good and bad days, together.

So let it all out darlin', anytime.
Please don't ever feel the need to hold it all in.
Don't fear burdening me with your troubles...
I'm here to listen.
I'm here to help.
That is what friendship is all about, and it's truly one of my greatest joys.

So dear friend, it feels wonderful to have you back in my heart.
I agree, it was hard to let you go that day...
I felt like we could have talked on and on for days...I didn't want the conversation to end.
It felt amazing, didn't it?
I felt like I had found another soul mate, and I felt with everything inside of me, without a doubt ...
You and I are going to carry this friendship together for the rest of our lives.

Seriously girl, that conversation left me on a natural high.
God is Good, and you are a blessing in my life.
I felt so much love for you, I thought my heart would explode with happiness.
It's wonderful to have you back again!

Love Always,
Angel
