when i went to ACU in the fall of '97 i met Judith. a red-headed canadian girl who lived in the room across the hallway. instantly we became friends! she was then and continues to be my friend from across!
when we met, we were ACROSS the hall. she grew up in Ontario Canada, ACROSS the continent. and began her college life in Michigan, ACROSS the country. the first summer we were in Abilene we lived in houses down the road from the campus, ACROSS the alley from each other. our 2nd year together we lived ACROSS campus and our last ACROSS town from each other. Upon graduation i moved here and she moved to the Dallas Fort-worth area, we were ACROSS Texas! she is now a missionary in Japan.
I emailed her recently for her birthday and got to correspond with her a little bit. but i miss her so much and we really don't keep in touch with each other as much as i'd like. we are both busy and after all we are ACROSS the world from each other (okay i'll stop saying that i know, you get the point!)
Every couple of months, judith will send an update letter about recent events, praises to God and prayer requests. i got one today and guess what?
SHE HAS A BLOG TOO!!!!!!! okay, just a little bit excited! so another friend i can be in touch with through this system! i love technology (well, when it's easy like this is!)
i hope you too can notice and experiance the good things God had instore for you this Monday!

You are an amzing young women, Jennifer! When you first came to Pleasanton, I was not so sure how long you would be hanging around. I'm glad you have decided to stay. I watch you with all kinds of people, of all ages. You exude a joy in life that is fun to watch. Your "bud" from Japan and the way you express your excitement about her is just another example of how your heart for peole reveals itself. Thanks for sharing yourself with us.
