18 Now as Jesus was walking by the Sea of Galilee, He saw two brothers, Simon who was called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen.
19 And He said to them, "Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men."
20 Immediately they left their nets and followed Him.
(Matthew 4:18-20)-NASB

41 And He sat down opposite the treasury, and began observing how the people were putting money into the treasury; and many rich people were putting in large sums.
42 A poor widow came and put in two small copper coins, which amount to a cent.
43 Calling His disciples to Him, He said to them, "Truly I say to you, this poor widow put in more than all the contributors to the treasury;
44 for they all put in out of their surplus, but she, out of her poverty, put in all she owned, all she had to live on."
(Mark 12:41-44)-NASB

Two best friends living in two different places sat in two different church as these two passages were preached on today.
Two best friends living in two different places at two different places in their lives open their eyes and hearts to new understanding, for that is the purpose of faith.
Two best friends understanding that God calls us to get out of our heads full of doubt, uncertainty, failure, fear and loneliness and realize something/one greater beyond ourselves...something/one we can wholeheartedly belong to and ultimately be able to stand tall because of it.
Love,
C
