kindred spirits

It's so beautiful to connect with a kindred spirit. This week has been especially beautiful in this way. Because I met Carrie.

Carrie and I initially met via email. We were both looking for a roommate. I've been in Baltimore this week for Care Net's National Pregnancy Center Conference. Carrie and I were both looking to split the cost of a hotel room by finding a roommate. And boy, am I so glad we found each other!

Carrie and I understand each other. We're both passionate people. Both searching for the truth. Both wanting to reach out with love and hope to women who find themselves in unplanned pregnancies. Wanting to strive for organizational excellence in our nonprofits. Desiring God's best for our lives and the lives of those around us. Both wanting to love our God and the people around us with not just our hearts, but our minds and souls, our bodies and our whole complete selves. Both praying for continued healing in our lives, and trusting our Father to continue using us as we humbly continue to follow.

The best thing here at Conference is definitely the people. People who understand the ministry. Who are living the ministry. So beautiful.

Thank You, God, for kindred spirits.
