I thank God for the friends He gave me.
The emptiness you feel when a tragedy has happened back home while you are all alone in a foreign country with no family can be dreadfully frightening. The last few days had been absolutely horrid for me and things would have gotten much worse without the support and mere presence of my friends.
Guisele and Glen came by even though they knew they would be late for an antenatel class, and stayed with me again after the class till past midnight. She held me in her arms while I bawled my eyes out...and it really is extremely handy to have a friend who is studying to be a pastor, who can show you the love and grace of God when you thought impossible.
I had friends constantly checking up on me. Cards were given, text messages sent to my mobile, prayers were said, a cute soft teddy bear was received...and despite their other agendas, everything was put aside so that I could be supported.
I had never felt so loved before since I arrived in England.
Fanja, Anca, Guisele, Glen, Gabor, Adrian and Darren...strength was found through you and your prayers.
I thank you for the love and care you have showed me and I want you to know just how much I appreciate you.
