Daily BITUB- “Friends”

“Friends”

I talked to a friend yesterday I have not talked to in years. Some friendships don’t need constant conversation to remain strong. Years can pass. Life gets busy. Families grow. Careers change. We move, we struggle, we celebrate, and sometimes we simply lose touch. But then there are those friends. The ones you haven’t talked to in years who somehow show up at exactly the right moment. No explanations needed. No guilt about the time that has passed. They just step back into your life, remind you who you are, and lift you up when you need it most.

That kind of friendship is a blessing.

It reminds me that true friendship isn’t measured by how often we talk. No, it’s measured by the love, respect, memories, and connection that remain even through the silence. Sometimes God puts people in our lives for a season, and sometimes He gives us people whose season never really ends. They may be miles away or years removed from our everyday lives, but when the moment comes, they are right there saying, “I’ve still got you.” And sometimes that is exactly what your heart needs to hear. So today, I’m grateful for the friends who have reached out, checked in, prayed, encouraged, made me laugh, reminded me of old memories, and simply lifted me up.

Time may create distance, but true friendship has a way of building bridges across the years.

Never underestimate the power of reaching out to an old friend. You may think you’re just saying hello when in reality, you may be giving them exactly the strength they needed that day. God has a beautiful way of reminding us that we were never meant to walk this life alone. 

Believe In The Unbelievable that is YOU and mr prayer for you today is from Proverbs 17:17. 

“A friend loves at all times.” 

Have a great week ahead everyone.

“Prayer Warriors Assemble”

Yesterday I was looking at my wife’s post about our next chapter and realized that life has taken our family on quite a journey. We have been blessed to call six different states home over the years. Six states! Different communities. Different seasons of life. So many things. And along the way, God placed some incredible people in our path. At the time, we may not have understood why certain friendships were formed or why our journey took us from one place to another. But today, in a season when we need prayer more than ever, I think I understand a little better. Across those six states there are people praying for us. Willing to help us. Willing to drop their life to help ours. Friends from different chapters of our lives. People we worked with, worshiped with, laughed with, cried with, served alongside, and simply did life with. Some we haven’t seen in years, yet when they heard we needed prayer, they immediately went to battle for us.

Prayer warriors assembling from across the country (and India/Jamaica) are standing in the gap for our family.

How do you even begin to say thank you for something like that? We are humbled. We are blessed. And we are incredibly grateful. There are moments in life when you realize that the relationships God allowed you to build weren’t just for that particular season. Some people were placed in your life because one day you would need them standing beside you… or kneeling in prayer for you. Right now, we feel surrounded by an army of people lifting our family before God. And while we may not know exactly what tomorrow holds, we know Who holds tomorrow. 

Twenty five years ago during a very difficult time for me my mom gave me a print out with the verse about the full armor of God, along with a beautiful wood plaque that represented it. It helped. It mattered. 

So today, our family, we put on the full armor of God. 

The belt of truth.
The breastplate of righteousness.
The gospel of peace.
The shield of faith.
The helmet of salvation.
And the sword of the Spirit.

And we stand.

We stand in faith.
We stand in hope.
We stand together.

And when we get tired, we know there are prayer warriors across multiple states helping hold us up. To every person who has called, texted, checked on us, loved on us, and most importantly prayed for us—THANK YOU. Please keep those prayers coming. They mean more than you will ever know. Six states. Countless relationships. One incredible army of prayer warriors assembling. And one Almighty God who has been faithful through every chapter.

We are blessed.
We are grateful.
We are armored up.

We are trusting God every step of the way. And as I have said for years… 

Believe In The Unbelievable that is YOU! 
But today, I would add one more thing: 
Believe in the Unbelievable things GOD can do. 

Keep the faith. God is not finished with our story. 

“Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes.” Ephesians 6:11

Have a great day ahead everyone.
