Building Memories with my Sisters in Christ
I just love quaint little tea shops and coffee shops and cafes. I love the intimate, cozy vibes they give off and the sweet invitation to just sit and share time with a friend or small group of friends. Someone once asked an icebreaker question about something you would do if time or money were not a factor. I said I'd love to have my own little tea/coffee shop someday. :) I had a friend who owned one in Texas that I just loved to visit.
We also have found an adorable little tea place here in Nashville, IN that one of Chrissy's friends owns, and Mike and Matt's business has done a ton of work for her. So I invited my Discipleship group to go there last week while I'm still off for the summer. Unfortunately she was closed when we got there, but we also had plans to visit a new bakery near there. So we walked to the bakery and found this treasure of a place to sit and enjoy each other's company that morning. :)
I love the sweet friendships that I have been slowly building with these three ladies. It's so nice to have friends who enjoy meeting up for coffee (or Chick Fil-A occasionally) just to talk and share time together. Through our simple chats over coffee and tea, we've gotten to know each other and have become a system of support, prayer and encouragement through life's daily challenges. I've loved the flexibility to meet on different days and at different times and locations during the summer, and I'm so thankful for their flexibility to work around my teacher hours during the school year. I never had a sister, and I'm not a big group kind of girl, so maybe that's why my sisters-in-Christ and the coffee shop atmosphere is so inviting to me.
Hannah is in a different Discipleship Group, but she's like my soulmate sister here, one of my closest friends. We've met up at a lot of coffee shops over the last three years, but my favorite time was when she came over to have coffee with me out on my own patio (my own little coffee shop!). We are in very different stages of life, so our schedules aren't always easy to coincide, but I'm so thankful God crossed our paths and brought us together as friends/sisters-in-Christ.
