Sister...

When I think of you, a smile dawns within my heart.
Perhaps, mind and word cannot comprehend or express the impact you've made.
All friendships are an experience; an intermission from life to learning.
Friends of the past have inspired my life towards the deep theology of God.
But, through your friendship, I've seen that the deepest things are yet to come.
As you emit the character of Christ in daily life, I see how simple God has made our path.
And though the plan is much simpler than it had seemed,
the application has become to me a discipline, possible only through the grace of God.
I praise God always for our friendship.
For I have come to realize throught it, the beauty of His balance...

a pendulum swinging to and fro',
hot and cold waters merging to form a warm and soothing pool,
the quiet found in between the rushing winds,
a scent that brings back fond memories of springtime in the rain,
NOT a still neutral, but a dynamic bliss
found through obedience to the character of Christ.

Thank you for being God's tool
...and my sister.
