I can’t even express how amazing God’s timing is. For the last 6 years I’ve lost so many friends because of a toxic relationship that I finally broke free from. For the last 4 years I had been praying so much for God to help guide me and open my eyes to who I really need in my life and who I need to let go of. That being said I am no longer in my toxic relationship thanks to my eyes finally being open, I have had friends leave my life for no reason, and I’ve had friends walk back into my life since. No, this didn’t all happen overnight, BUT it happened exactly when He wanted it to, not when I wanted it to. I never gave up praying about this and praying God help provide me with the right people that I needed in my life.
That being said recently God answered a huge prayer in my life that I could not pass up the opportunity to share with y’all.
Growing up I had that best friend who was always more like a sister in my life, we fought, we argued, but we also loved each other just like sisters do. We never went a day without speaking or hanging out all throughout elementary school all the way through high school. I honestly never thought I would not have her in my life. Well unfortunately, we had a falling out many years ago and never spoke again. Time went on, we both started new and different lives but I always had her in the back of my mind, wondering how she is doing, how her family is doing, and forever wishing I could call her and share moments in my life with her. I prayed and prayed for her and prayed that one day God would put her back into my life, but not when I wanted but when He knew I needed her. Y’all God works in AMAZING ways. Not even a month after I got out of my toxic relationship I heard from her. Like I said we had a falling out so at first I really didn’t want anything to do with her, we ended on bad terms and I was scared to give her a second chance, which was WRONG of me. I then ignored her, and went on with life.
Here I am today to tell y’all that someone who loves you and cares for you will forever put in effort to be in your life no matter what, no matter who it is, and no matter the circumstances. Y’all this girl texted me every month for a year, AN ENTIRE YEAR, I’ve never had someone make that much of an effort for me, not a friend, boyfriend, etc. But this girl did not give up and she did not stop trying. So... I broke down the last time she reached out, and I mean broke down, cried out to God to let me move past what we went through and let me get over my own insecurities and issues, and give her a second chance. AND if you are like me and anyone does you wrong… I have a really hard time giving people another chance. But I’m here to tell you, if you do not forgive people and move on with your life, you WILL live a miserable life. So that being said I reached back out to her, and just confessed everything to her, told her I was sorry for never giving her the second chance she deserved. She did the same, so then of course we played catch up since you know we haven’t spoken in over 4 years, there’s A LOT to catch up on after all the years. Finally, we decided to get together and hangout, I won’t lie I was a nervous wreck, anxious, all the mixed emotions I had every one! The day came that we finally met up, I prayed the entire drive there, I prayed for comfort, peace, and strength because I was a nervous wreck. Long story short…. I found out she had been praying for me too! It was like we had never lost touch, it was like we picked back up right where we left off. Emotions were high for the both of us, but ultimately, it was one of the easiest things I’d ever done. I had missed this friend more than she ever knew. I prayed for her, and prayed for God to put her back into my life. God provides y’all, He hears ALL prayers, there is not one He does not hear.
SO… why did I share all of this? Because I want you to know you HAVE to give people second chances. You HAVE to forgive those who have done you wrong. You must NEVER stop praying for what you truly want. It may take years for Him to answer your prayer, mine took 4. There is SO much power in prayer, and we serve an AMAZING God. I am so thankful to have her back into my life, and mending our friendship back together. She’s never truly realized how bad I needed her in my life, BUT God did.
