Sunday night realities.

So today is Sunday and for us that usually means Church and a nap,

homework, popcorn for supper, and making sure a certain someone gets the trash taken out.

This Sunday was a bit different as we kind of went "public" (Suze did the preachin' at Fellowship) with our deal.

It was an amazing day -- from the fellowship with our FMC family, the Choir rocked the house, the prayer time as an entire community, and the unexpected blessing of getting to sit with Suze's folks during worship and then seeing some really good friends who we love so very much but don't get to see often.

A day of blessing and reminder.

Again.

That God has got all this already figured out.

We can wrestle and plan and negotiate, but mostly He just wants our hearts.

So, today that's what we gave Him.

Our niece Jessica has recently gotten married and moved to Oregon (that's us on the right).

It feels like a really far way off...

But she sent me (Suze) a FB message this week letting me know that she's praying for us and asking God for His absolute best for me.

and then she said this...

“God knows exactly what He's doing doesn't He? huh From beginning to end he is still writing our stories. (Even when we think we're doing the writing, just because we're doing the living...so silly)” 

We like that girl (and her husband too!).

So tonight we go to bed with a greater awareness of the blessing that is ours because God loves us enough to give us exactly the grace we need to wake up tomorrow morning and see what Monday holds for us.  

We are also very aware that we are not alone as God writes this chapter in our story.  

So many are literally right here with us while many, many more are far away and yet, using the greatest weapon we'll ever have -- prayer.

Thanks for including us in your conversations with the only One who can Heal any of us.

Grateful, 

Kelly & Suze
