Cared for

Per the previous post and situation, I have been slightly immobile and in need of help. More than just physical help, I've needed people to keep checking in with me to see how I'm doing, continued prayers, 'pick me ups' and the so it goes. 

I'm so blessed. 

I hate that it takes something like this for me to see how great the people in my life are, but sometimes thats the nature of how selfish and blind I am. But now, I have eyes to see. Person after person has called, send text messages, and emails of encouragement, hope, words from the Lord, and even walking in my grief in pain with me. Those are the people you know are for real and you know you want around forever.

My mom sent me flowers on Tuesday morning. They are beautiful and everytime I see them, I think this is hope in the midst of disaster. God wants us to know that. There is always growth and color and newness. The card from my momma was enough. 

Wednesday morning flowers arrives from Kathryn. How sweet!! Tears of joy now rolling down my face as I am affirmed that people are here for me. I'm not in this alone and they are going to walk towards me and not away. It was so thoughtful of her to send those. When we had talked the day before, Dubs just let me hurt and she hurt with me. Wish we lived in the same town.

I asked my sister to entertain me by sending me emails..and does she ever...

The students here have been great--checking in on me and bringing me food. Elaine made wonderful cupcakes that I won't have a hard time eating. Lucy and Jenn keep asking to 'care for me' Women from TCAT have even called to be a part of this journey. My staff team has been so great too, starting with Liz when she took me in and does all the small things for me around the house. Jeff and Rachel are making me dinner tonight and the blessings go on. 

I just feel really cared for.  Its Gods little unique way of showing me and telling me 'look at all this love in your life. Look who cares for you and follows through' I needed to know those things right now. Thanks everyone for all you have done!! I greatly appreciate you!
