I remember the first time I saw Kathy Hofer. It was at our parish, and she was facilitating a Walking with Purpose women’s Bible study small group that had ended up twice as big as expected. I could tell Kathy was nervous, but she plunged right in, confident in her soul (if not her head!) that God had put her in that place for a reason. I knew I wanted to get to know the woman who was so obedient.
In the past two years, Kathy and I have become friends. I know she is never happier than when she is working behind the scenes for the Lord with her family, her students, her friends, and her community. But within that Martha soul, she also has the faith and wisdom to know when to put the busyness aside and listen to Jesus. Several of my touchstone spiritual resources, I’ve found through Kathy.
Which of your friends inspires you?
