I had forgotten about the notes but I do remember writing yours:) Thank you so much for writing and for keeping up on our story. I am thankful it has been an encouragement for you. It makes this long journey feel valuable in great eternal ways.

I recall vividly the kindness in your words that penned the welcome note for the retreat. Each person in the group had someone from a home church praying for them leading up to the retreat, and I was a last minute joiner - so I was sure I wouldn't get a note, but there it was, a note of encouragement and prayer from you. Sometime after that retreat, I met Stacy G., and I have been reading about and learning from you and Christina ever since. Thank you for sharing these times of your life and for sharing Christina with all of us. Your words continue to reach my heart and encourage me in my walk of faith.

And when God moves into my heart and starts me writing--I write. It's as straightforward as that. His purposes are beyond mine and I pray that He will accomplish more than what I could ask or imagine.<br />Much love,<br />Jo DeeJo Deehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17021276262612497358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-228120646629855408.post-4718002447879264152013-08-29T13:42:08.455-07:002013-08-29T13:42:08.455-07:00I am amazed and overwhelmed by this Jesus who care...I am amazed and overwhelmed by this Jesus who cares.

If He can meet me in this difficult place, He can and does meet others in their own struggles.

A chance encounter in the cancer waiting room, led to telling a struggling family about your journal and Christina's blog.<br /><br /> As we know there are no "chance" encounters, and God is certainly using your words and Christina's precious thoughts and words, to help others cope, and to have hope in their own situation that seems so hopeless. <br /><br />As I observed them later, they were still at the computer reading the posts you both shared. May God continue to work His good purpose. Friday Tidingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03483841168540024428noreply@blogger.com
