Yesterday I suddenly missed JS very much and sent her an email. She replied quickly and suggested to call me instead of emailing me. Last night was actually the best timing for us to catch up with each other over a, probably very, long call as mom & dad were not home.
It was long -- almost 3 hours! I can't recall any longer call than this one in my life. I'm not the kind of person who like talking on the phone. But talking with friends like JS is different. We don't need time to warm-up and can go straight into deep sharings. We can discuss and share our weaknesses, failure and needs without any hesitation because we know the person one's talking to will and is ready to accept what one is. When we share our joys and God's amazing work in our lives, we give thanks for each other delightfully and praise God for His wisdom and grace in each other's life. This trust is built up through the years we lived together and the way we witnessed each other's growth in Christ. More importantly, because we share the same life and goal in Christ.
After we have talked for about 2 hours, JS told me that in the past few days, she was thinking in her pursue of holiness, who she can find support and encouragement from. I was one of those popped up in her mind. But she was a bit hesitated as we're so far apart and we share so little in common after I returned to HK. Then came my email, then her call, and then the conversation both of us found a blessing from God.
Who can make all these work together so amazingly except our Heavenly Father? :)
