Those of you that are regular readers of My Dreams of Disney will have met my dear friend Brenda before; some of you may even know her yourselves! Brenda is one of the incredible travel agents that Pixie Vacations employs, but more then that, Brenda is my true Sister-in-Christ, and I consider myself a Blessed man because I was able to meet her, both online and in person.
Brenda is one of those people that, when you meet, you instantly have a connection with them, you feel like you have known her all your life. Brenda and I met because we are both writers for the blog Chip & Company, and also because we both are huge Disney fans (duh!) — but it goes deeper then that. In essence, Brenda is one of those people outside of your immediate family that you can tell anything to, and you know that not only will she have a wealth of advice for you, but she will also just listen, not judge you regardless of the circumstance, and gently correct you if you are wrong — just like Jesus would have us do.
One particular thing that stands out most about Brenda is how much love and care she has for her fellow human beings. I’ll never forget the day that Brenda called me; she told me that she was really worried about our good buddy Ken, who had been sick. Brenda had sent him a card to cheer him up, and she hadn’t heard from him. It turns out that Brenda was right to be worried, and we learned that we had lost our brother a little while before, but just didn’t know it.
It is that love and compassion that Brenda has for all of us that are fortunate to cross her path that make her my inaugural choice for Friendship Friday! I would like to send a very nice thank you to my good friend Heidi for coming up with this idea!

Thank you for stopping by, and Brenda, thank you for everything that you have given to me in the short time that we’ve known one another! I love you Sister!

Thank you so much for linking up to Friendship Friday this week, Mike! Your friend Brenda sounds like a very special person and I’m so glad that you got the opportunity to meet her. It’s nice to be able to validate those online friendships, isn’t it?
She is, Heidi! It is great to be able to put an in-person interaction to an online friend!
Mike, your friendship has given me so much more than it has given you. I am truly blessed to have such a caring person in my life. Our faith binds us together and it is certainly by no accident that we met. God guides our steps — we both know that. I am so blessed that He lead me to you! I love you, brother!!! Thank you so much for this wonderful surprise!!!
My pleasure, Brenda! I love you too! Have a fun time on your cruise tomorrow! :)
