Then we started a one-on-one mentoring/discipleship program at church called Operation Multiplication. I wanted to be a part of it but who was I to be the "Paul" (aka leader)? And I needed a "Timothy" (aka someone to mentor). I knew who Marla was, everyone knew the drummer's wife, but had never actually talked to her. Well I decided she was my Timothy and walked up to her after church one day (totally out of character for me!) to ask if she wanted to do the program. I think I expected her to tell me she wasn't interested or that she would need to think about it. But not so much. She agreed and the next week we had our first meeting. We met once a week and began to build a relationship. She became the best friend I had prayed for.
She is Aunt Marla to my Justine and I am Aunt Cindy to her boys. And can I tell you how excited I am that she will soon experience piggy tails!!!
So here's to you Marla...thanks for being a great friend!
Pic compliments of Melissa...thanks Melissa. I think this may be the first picture we've ever had taken together!
