Coffee is Always Better Over Good Conversation

Let me just state....I LOVE ME SOME KIM ROBERTS-MILLINGTON!!
Kim is a good friend of mine that I met my first semester of college. She attempted with her whole heart to start and keep a college ministry at the church I had grown up in. We took our Sunday School Class out of the church so we could try to get others outside of my church to join. We met every Sunday at IHOP, and attempted to have a bible study. Most Sundays it was just Kim and I so we would literally just talk about life, love, school, our past, our future, God...we covered it all. Kim became my friend & mentor. She inspired me to better myself, and not allow myself to be like my parents.

Kim and I laughed, cried, shared stories, held each other, prayer with and for each other, and just fellowship in God together. After my first semester, Kim didn't have the time or energy with working several other jobs to keep up with a ministry that was unsuccessful. So our weekly meetings, turned into not as often but over coffee or dinner as often as possible. We remained close through texting and facebooking.

In April, Kim got married, and asked me to be apart of her wedding. I was so excited that she wanted me to be apart of her big day. Her life since she got married has been chaotic, as well as mine so we have not seen each other. So yesterday when I received a text from her asking for coffee today, I was ecstatic!

This morning we met at Starbucks and talked for an hour about her life since marriage, being a mom of two kids, how she is adjusting, how they are adjusting, and my life. We had sooooo much to catch up on. Kim also invited me to come intern under her at West First Baptist and be a Sunday School teacher for 4 & 5 year olds. The catch is I have to get a new job. I am more encouraged than ever to find a Monday through Friday job so that I am able to do this. Kim was so excited about the idea of me serving God in that way with her.

My day has been absolutely successful in getting that much closer to figuring out who I am outside of my sister and brother. I am more determined than ever to continue this heart and soul search. It's bringing me closer to my family, friends, God, and even Tyler. Continue praying for me because this is just the beginning of my struggle...R.E. hasn't even his senior year yet.
