So since I didn't start this blog from the beginning of my relationship with Rehema and since there are so many stories worth sharing between then and now...I think I will attempt to write a current story one day and a previous story the next. If I am even able to keep this up for any length of time! It may be a little confusing, but along the way I may be able to figure out how to sort them chronologically.
For the first post, I think I should start at the beginning....
I met Rehema at church in September of 2009 through a mutual friend whom she had met running. (Rehema is a long distance runner, a coach and a teacher.) Sitting next to her in the service that first day, I felt like this was a person I wanted to know and to be around, and we hadn't even had a conversation yet. Her spirit was eminating from her and touching my heart in such a way that I just knew I would enjoy being friends with her. I was having a terrible morning and had just griped God out in my journal. The next thing I knew there was my friend Barbara and a beautiful, tall, black woman dressed in a traditional Ugandan dress a high pointy hat and a huge smile. I motioned for them to sit next to me and the worship music started up. We sat next to eachother for the whole service without saying a word and at the end, I couldn't wait to find out all about her. I didn't realize that it would be the beginning of a deep and beautiful friendship with one of the most intersting and Spirit-filled people I had ever met.
