New Friends

Tonight I saw a glimpse of God right outside my front door. I started praying today asking God to show me the direction I should take in my decision of moving. I sometimes feel like this is just way too much house for me and I would love to redo a small house and have more money in the bank each month. Some opportunities have come up in the last few weeks that have really had me thinking. I have to admit I have not prayed about it until today.
Bella and I finished dinner and decided to take Gerdie for a walk. As soon as we went out the front door we saw a family walking by. A mom, a little girl Bella's size, and a dad holding an infant. Bella kept asking " can I go say hello to that girl mom?" Before I knew it we were walking side by side with the family. The little girl, Brooklyn is almost 4yrs old and lives one block away from us. We walked all the way to their house and while the adults were outside checking out their awesome house(they just moved in 4 months ago) the girls had disappeared into Brooklyn's room. BELLA FINALLY HAS A FRIEND!!!! The parents were so down to earth and friendly. They are having a birthday party in the near future for Brooklyn and we are invited. So so happy, but wait it gets better.
We are walking back home when I see a young girl sitting with a little boy Bella's size. She comments on Gerdie so I asked how old the little boy was. He's 4! His single dad just moved in a couple weeks ago and he has his son every other weekend. His name is Jayden and his babysitter is Allie. Jayden and Bella were also instant pals. They raced up and down the sidewalk and talked to each other like they had known each other for years. So now Bella has two little friends walking distance from her. She is always wanting someone to play with her and Mommy just can't hang. I always say my neighborhood is the best place ever but it continues to get better and better. Thank you God for new friends and the most amazing place I get to call home.
