Never have I ever


Dear Family,
      For the first time in forever, I followed someone around like a puppy dog.  I’ll admit it – I missed Bobby this week.  I am very glad he is home.  I even did errands with him just to be close.  Normally I am not a clingy person.  Saturday was a different story.  I miss normal me but I am enjoying Bobby, so much it doesn’t matter. 
      I did know this week would bring a lonely tinge because both Bobby and Seth were gone at camp.  I told Adriel to give me some time with her and she obliged.  I took her out to lunch once.  She hung out at home with me one evening.  I enjoyed her company.
      I am thankful for friends who walk with me or that I have talking dates with.  God keeps me company and I do enjoy my kitty Skyra who follows me wherever I go.
      God is so good!  I felt anxiety reaching out to people our church has prayed for last year.  Asking people about answered prayer is intimidating because it is so personal.  It feels invasive.  I asked them how God answered and if I could add it to a book for Church eyes only.  I felt rewarded and uplifted in the end because the overwhelming response was, “Thanks for asking, God is at work and, yes, you may add the request and answer.”  I feel blessed because we rejoice at what God has done and is doing.
      Timothy Fairchild preached an amazing sermon.  When pastor Marcus asked us to pray for Timothy on Wednesday during prayer group I added Tim to my list.  I was thrilled to learn he was preaching.  THEN when the sermon was straight from God to me I felt humbled, awed and joyous.  Yay God! 

      How exciting to see Wally and Ginny Hyde for the first time in 10 years.  How wonderful to hug old friends and catch up.  They were at our church visiting.  Yay!!  I really enjoyed showing them our grown-up Seth.  They knew him when he was three years old.  Now he was doing the sound for church and busy with that work.

      Bobby was glad to say he enjoyed a smooth, wonderful camp experience.  He was glad to be the director and Seth was glad to be a camper.  Seth even said, “See you next year,” to a new friend at camp.  I am glad Seth expects to go next year.  Yay God! 
      May you remain content in blessings and in sorrow.  May you find God comfort, enlighten and be with you throughout the day.  May your peace come from knowing you are so very loved.

Hugs,


Cristy
