“Make new friends, but keep the old. One is silver and the other gold.”
I learned that song as a Girl Scout and have remembered its simple message over the years. In the kingdom of God, there is a tremendous blessing that comes from connecting with Christians you have never met before. In my travels, I get to meet a number of amazing people with a myriad of talents—what a privilege to catch a glimpse of what God sees when he looks down at his children with pride.
As much as I love meeting new people and getting to know them, I also enjoy time with old friends. Today, I am getting to do just that. My college roommate from Harding University, Mandy (Arnold) Vaughn, and I are enjoying a cup of coffee on her deck this morning before I return to Denver—a lovely ending to this wonderful, but exhausting two-week trip.

I have safely returned from Tegucigalpa and the seminars at the Baxter Institute. Thank you for your prayers and I will be sharing pictures and stories soon!
Tomorrow, I will be conducting an area-wide Ladies Day for the Hispanic women in the Raleigh-Durham area. The event is being hosted by the Cole Mill Road Church of Christ in Durham, North Carolina.
We will look at the very concept of community and why it is so vital to our personal and congregational growth. What does it mean to be sisters connected in Christ—to be Iron Rose Sisters?
We can serve as iron sharpening iron, encouraging and inspiring one another to be as beautiful as a rose in spite of a few thorns. We mentor one another, pray for each other, and fulfill the more than fifty “one another” references in the New Testament.
Please join me in prayer for this event: that God will speak through me, that the women will be edified and equipped to connect more deeply to God and one another.
