(E*, Mote, Pam walkin' hand in hand on Kenyan soil!)
Today is my friend, Pam’s birthday!
I met Pam when she came to work at our church about a year ago. I can’t remember the date that I officially “met” her because I feel like I’ve always known her! We hit it off immediately – we’ve gone for walks, had coffee together, “interviewed” for church “broadcasts” (ha ha), played board games, laughed out loud about really dumb things (one of our favorite past times!), and spent time in Africa together!
Pam lived in Arusha, Tanzania for 2 years and had a few rather “radical” experiences there that forever changed her life. Because of those experiences, our church has an even more rock solid staff because she is on board!! She’s well traveled. She's fluent in Swahili. She's not a stranger of adversity, and yet(!), is a bold lover of Jesus…. She’s awesome! And when I get to spend time w/ my “Pam-a-lot” it makes me happy!
What I really like about our freindship is that even though we’ve only known each other for a relatively short time – I know that she will be honest with me. I’ve given her the authority to speak “truthfully” to me about decisions (good and bad) that I make – I love talking to her. There have been times when she’s spoken to me about something and I just “got it” – and I know that God has placed her in my life to make me a better person.

PAM,
you came into my life just in the “nick of time”…
I’m forever grateful that I know you and get to call you "friend"!
On this day of your birth, I hope you are still in your “jams”, eating a gluten free rice cake, slurpin’ on some coffee, and reading a book that you want to pass on to yours truly!
Love you, girl!
Xoxoxo,
