There's not a friend.

I didn't want to use this blog to share my faith but some things have happened to me over the past 2 weeks that I can only describe as a Godsend. 2 weeks ago I met a mom whose son had a similar skin condition to my baby at Church. She was introduced to me by my Church sister who lives near me. I remember that on my first visit this lady was reading a book to my son in the Church creche and I remember him looking so comfortable it was amazing. He was only 4 or 5 months at the time. For privacy I will call her Angela (not her real name). She told me about her son, what worked for her and she gave me a lot of reassurance. She gave me her details and her email address which contained a quote that I hear all the time on BET 'Dream Big'. Well intrigued I rang her to say thanks for the advice and on Thursday she dropped round some cream and she offered to look after my boys or baby so I can have a sleep.On Saturday I rang her in despair as my hubby was late for picking us up from town and it was getting v dark. she offered to pick me up if he didn't turn up and reiterated that she will happily look after the boys on Sunday if I needed some rest. As plans for Sunday were not finalised at that point I could not take her up on the offer. But at mad o'clock in the morning I texted her to day that we will all come to her house and I will bring what I was cooking which was Roast Chicken, rice and peas. I would have to cook the babys food once I got there. Well a good time was had by all. My boys and her family ( she has 4 kids 3 beautiful girls and one quiet boy) gelled instantly. My baby slept in her husbands arms so easily it amazed me and I got a nap on her settee. With all boxes ticked and all needs met we were given a lift home.

Angela is only one of the beautiful people I've met in Stevenage. I've met an older mom who gives the best hugs in the world and is always available for a chat and a cup of tea; a budding entrepreneur mom who loves singing; my homemaker mom who is just friendly and knows how to hook people up and a North London mom and Gran who love to give and are full of stories of the place where they lived most of their lives. I've only been here 4 months. I also met a lovely business mom who has a cleaning business and does babysitting to make ends meet but the bonus is she likes the same music as I do. I now know I can go anywhere and make quality friends. I try my best to be friendly and open with people and I find I get it in return. I've also got the greatest friend of all Jesus who knows my every need and meets them by sending me people such as these and by giving me the song 'theres not a friend' by my wonderful gospel singing friend. I'll get his permission before I give you his name.
