As I was making coffee with my new french press I couldn't help but think about my dear friend Hannah. She was one of my first friends here at WKU and we had many heart to hearts over coffee in her dorm room. She too, is a french press user (shout out to Hannah, who makes much better coffee than I do). Hannah got married this summer and we never see each other any more. Ever. She's in nursing school, I'm in teacher education. She's married, I'm not. It's life, but the Lord really impressed upon my heart while I was making coffee that since I was thinking of her, I should pray for her.
And I just thought, how often does this happen? Someone comes to my mind and I pass it off as a memory or simply a fleeting thought. I believe that God places people in our lives for seasons of our lives, that each person we meet is someone whose life did not cross paths with our own for no reason. If nothing else, the Lord places people in our lives that we might love them as He does and to make a mark on their lives. To love someone the way that Christ loves them is to carry a burden for them. To be a friend. To pray. And I want to be just that.
