Lilly: Well...here we are. Another weekend, another day, with you, friend. I wonder where Dodger is right now? You know he had to relocate, so he's probably getting settled in. I won't lie to you, I'm a little bummed out. I miss him a lot, and his move came so suddenly. I remember how much fun we all had. It won't be quite the same without him, will it?
Dodger: Without who?
Lilly: DODGER! Where did- how did- IT'S SO GREAT TO SEE YOU!
Dodger: Wow, Lilly! If I didn't know better I'd think you thought I moved to the moon!
Lilly: Well, no, but...how are you here?
Dodger: To be honest, if I explain I'll feel a little sheepish.
Lilly: I'm waiting...
Dodger: Okay. Yes, we were moving. Yes, it was because of my dad's job. No, it didn't mean we were going far away. In fact, I'm actually thirty minutes closer than I used to be. And here I was all panicked.
Lilly: What!? That's amazing! Why did you guys move just to be a half-hour closer, though?
Dodger: Apparently it's policy that all employees be within a certain mileage from the company's location.
Lilly: I- can hardly believe that good fortune!
Dodger: Well, I can. I was all up in arms last week over moving, and I didn't even consider that it might be a good thing!
Lilly: I don't think you can be "up in arms", Dodger.
Dodger: ...Okay, well, at any rate, it makes moving a lot easier.
Lilly: I think we both have Someone to thank for that.
Dodger: I already have, several times. I also apologized for flipping out on Him, since, well, I kinda did last week...
Lilly: I guess now we have to ask ourselves a hard question, though.
Dodger: What's that?
Lilly: What if you had moved far away? What if we were too far apart to meet in person ever again? Would you still trust that God knew what He was doing? In fact, would I?
Dodger: I like to think so, but the only way for me to know that for sure would have been if it had happened that way.
Lilly: Yeah...I guess you're right.
Dodger: On the other hand, I can look back at this as an example in case something else happens where I don't know what God is doing. Even if whatever it is doesn't work out like this did, I'll still be able to remember this event and, hopefully, use it to encourage me to trust God.
Lilly: Good point. These little markers in our lives can really help when things become hard.
Dodger: I'll say they do. Anyways, I actually do have to finish unpacking my room. Sorry to get going so soon.
Lilly: That's alright, Dodger! We'll see you soon. Hey, bring one of your new neighbors along next time!
Dodger: Will do! Thanks for hanging out with us! Remember, Jesus loves you, and that's not about to change!
Lilly: Ciao!
Dodger: Without who?
Lilly: DODGER! Where did- how did- IT'S SO GREAT TO SEE YOU!
