A Wonderful, Blessed Surprise!

Blessed Easter to all my readers! :) Hope the Easter joy of our Risen Lord Jesus Christ resonates in your heart!

Today is a very special day for me. After ten long years, I had managed to get back in touch with a special friend who had been like a mentor to me in my late teens. We had worked together to form a young girls' group called "The Mustard Seed" for girls aged 12 to 15. This must have been in 1998 and I had always been thankful to have her as my mentor and friend. In 2001, I started a job that required me to work shifts, hence I could no longer commit to the group and had since lost touch with her.

Just some short weeks ago, a friend was sharing with me about a 1-day Lenten retreat and that they had invited this lady to conduct the session. In an instant, I just knew it had to be the same person and immediately tried my best to make contact. So I managed to get hold of her email address, dropped her an email and she replied! 

So today was a really wonderful day as it was meant to be. After 10 years, God had intended for us to meet today as she's leaving for Wales in 2 weeks time! She's now a trained Counselor and a truly wonderful person. I am just really happy that we managed to meet today :) 

Thank you Lord!

P.S: I brought along my camera but I guess in my excitement and we were too busy playing catch-up, I had forgotten to have a photo taken with her!! oh well, hopefully I don't have to wait another ten years!! :) hehee..
