As most of you know, when I decided to go greek, the world stopped spinning. Not really, but there were hundreds of dropped jaws across the world. Bid day, when I chose the best sorority(go KD!) we were given our set leaders and mine happened to be none other, then then beautiful Mary Hartnett. I have come to find that God places people on my heart that I am drawn to for no specific reason, but feel as though I am being called to get to know them. Mary was one of those people.
We rode down the mountain for our bid day adventure of laser tag and bumper cars, and on the way back I got to ride up front and chat with Mary for a while. Nothing but small talk and get to know each other questions came up but when she dropped me off, I was still eager to know her better. Our first mixer, Mary brought one of those horse's that have sticks for a body and(of course) named it Harry Potter. Her laughter and pure, simplistic joy brightened my spirit and made me feel comfortable in a place I never dreamed I would be. Mary and I got coffee a few days later and I got to hear about her life; the things that make her heart smile, fill her head, consume her days and make her tick. From that point on I knew God had incredible plans for our friendship. He has taught me so many lessons through her and she probably has no idea how comforting she is for me.
The greatest thing I have learned from Mary, is to care for people. That sounds incredible broad, but Mary has a way of cheering me up when I need it the most and making me feel loved when i'm having a tough day. She goes out of her way to help others and would be there for me in the blink of an eye if I asked her to be. May's heart is so beautiful and I am so blessed to have her in my life, teaching me more every time I see her!! Thank you for being a friend to me Mary, I love you forever.
Romans 12:9-10
"Don’t just pretend to love others. Really love them. Hate what is wrong. Hold tightly to what is good. Love each other with genuine affection, and take delight in honoring each other."
