Souls...

"Whatever souls are made of [hers] and mine are the same..." 

-Emily Bronte

Today I received a surprise phone call from a dear old friend. Grace called me! My childhood partner in crazy adventures, dress up, and games... We spent almost two hours updating one another on our lives. Over the past few months we've had been sporadically texting one another encouragement. Today we were able to truly talk to one another.

Oh how the conversation was easy, and how wonderful Christ is. I couldn't help but think of this quote from Wuthering Heights as we spoke. For no matter how far apart we are, how little we see of one another, or how different our lives may be we have always been of the same soul. So often God has brought us to the same emotions, struggles, and joys in the same time. Though far, we have grown together without even knowing it.

The entire conversation I was beaming. Beaming to tell her of the things that had passed. Of the things which I look forward to. Beaming to hear about her life. To share in her Gelato Shop joys. To talk to about her growth, her path, her life. To hear about the woman she has become. Truly, she is a kindred spirit. To hear from her is a light... she radiates the joy that comes from a friendship of childhood that stood the test of miles and time.

I cannot adequately express the beauty of being able to talk to her... So yes dear readers, it's been a wonderful day!
