Another Laura

Sometimes you meet another person who looks like you, not by sight, but by description. Same age. Same profession. Same happy personality. Same scrubs. Same name.
That happened today. WHen that happens, you can't help but compare your life with theirs. It amazes me how 2 seemingly similar people can walk such different lives.
The past few days have really hit home how different in reaction 2 people can be. My non-Christian friends say, "I'll be thinking of you. I know it will be okay. It just has to." But they have nothing to point to for why. There is hope, but it has no foundation.
My Christian friends say, "I will be praying for you. God has His will for you."
It means so much more to be able to know that even if everything goes in the worst imaginable way, it will be alright because it is God's will, and it will have been for something better than I ever could have imagined.
It means so much more that my friends can do something that gets great results.
Having prayer warriors on my side, well, no wonder it's good to be me!
