Cobbler at the Cottage.

Isn't it interesting how things pan out sometimes?

Things NEVER end up how you think they are going to.

Especially when it comes to relationships. 

And I'm not just talking like "relationships," I am unbiased in the meaning of the word relationships.

So like even with certain friendships.

Do you ever find yourself sitting with a friend and then you try and think back to when that friendship began?

Or what it was like a year ago?

Or what it was like six months ago?

Or maybe even a week or two ago?

So interesting. 

Today my dear friend Michael Reid and I made a cobbler. 

It was rather delicious. 

Blackberry Mango.

Oh yeah! 

(No, Scott I sadly did not use your recipe. I didn't have all the ingredients and didn't want to face Walmart. Next time.)

So as we were enjoying our cobbler and ice cream, I just started thinking back to when our friendship began. 

And it was just interesting. 

Michael and I haven't always gotten along.

He really used to irk me. 

(most of the time it was intentional)

But it's so cool to see how with time and maturity came a friendship.

I would say that we are fairly good friends. 

And I would just like to give the Lord a shout-out because He is GREAT!

So much this year I've gotten to see His glorious hand in my many friendships.

And I've seen His beauty shine in ALL of them.

Praise the Lord because He gave us friends. 

Need a friend?

Let's hang out.

We can go to The Cottage. 

Don't let her frighten you...she's harmless. 

And a really good listener. 

She's my roommate.
