Special Friend
Is there a special person that you know God brought into your life? There are many people like this for me. Recently though, it’s been my dear sweet friend, Sarah. She’s a DJ on our local radio station. Several years ago (approximately 7), I first started to hear her on the radio and loved her personality. She was younger, which is something that’s not always usual in the radio biz. I always thought it would be super cool to meet her, but never thought it’d really happen.
Fast forward 6 years, I started to follow her blog and Twitter (I’m not a stalked, REALLY!), and we eventually became friends on Facebook. In the “virtual world” it’s easy to feel like you know someone, but the person could be totally different in person. I had the opportunity to meet her at a concert in December and she was just as sweet as I thought she’d be.
Recently she spoke at a local church and I had the great pleasure of being there. The theme: Embrace Your Grace. I won’t go into details of the talk, but let me tell you, I knew God was speaking through Sarah. I got tears in my eyes, because I KNOW that God has poured out so much grace to me over the years. Hearing her stories and seeing a physical reminder of God’s grace was so powerful. (If she wasn’t such an awesome DJ, I’d say she be a public speaker.)
I skipped a bunch of details (didn’t want to bore you), but I wanted to share with you about my dear friend. She is just as beautiful inside as she is outside. Sarah, if you are reading this, I love you and I’m so thankful that you are in my life!
In closing, I’d encourage you to do a post about someone who has touched your life in a special way. It could be your husband, sister or friend…..I can’t wait to read about it!

Paulina, what a sweet tribute for your friend. Great reminder for all of us to be thankful for the wonderful people in our lives. Super duper cute card, too!! :)
awww such a sweet post Paulina! Love your card and I am so glad you have found a friend in Sarah that makes your heart happy. Friends like that are hard to find.
Awe what a great story. Very cute card!
This is BEAUTIFUL, Paulina! Your exquisite card matches the sentiment of your message and the love you feel for your friend. We DO live in different times and I hear you about virtual friends … But ya know! I find it TOTALLY worth the risk! There are SO many quality gals I’ve come to know via blogdom, and most have stood the test of time, seen each other though thick and thin, and honestly, I feel SO blessed to have this place to connect, learn and be inspired by such wonderful people. Perhaps the blogging experience brings out people at their best, but either way – I think it contributes to a healthier world! I’m glad you shared this today! You ARE a peach! {I’m sure Sarah LOVED this card!!!! – and YOU!}
Have a great day, dear!
