Coral.

Friends, it is time you met this dear one to me.
This is Coral, and she has a big place in my heart.

Featuring friends on this blog of mine is often a weighty task for me, because how do I express with words these people that mean to me more than words can express?
But I will try, because I want you to be encouraged by the fact that such beautiful people exist. 

Coral loves deeply.  She loves to a capacity that just could not be without Christ giving it, and without Him being within her.
And because Christ is within her, I have seen her heart take shape after His own more and more, every day.
Every day her heart grows into His likeness!

She invites me to tea and asks about my heart. 
She offers me beef jerky (:
She teaches me how to honor God with what I own and how to be thankful for it.
I know she will tell me, in love, when I am missing it.
She will sit with me and just be.
She makes me laugh and is always real with me and I know I can share anything with her.  I feel safe with her knowing my heart... even the ugly parts of it.
She has this amazing ability of making anywhere she is a home.

I know God loves me because people like Coral exist and are in my life. 
What an honor to be loved by her and be called her friend.

mwen remen ou, Coral.
