My dear friends Jesus-Dave and Mary-Jo, (and lets not forget Ray and J!)
I am happy to read your response. I’m not sure if I am so worried about deceiving the readers as I asm allowing the story to unfold in the right sequence. I am scared so excited and scared and pray for your guidance in every step of this book writing process. I want to make you and Joanie proud.
I am happy to hear about your plans for me to lead and have trips. Sounds like much more fun than my life now. My first reaction was “Who am I? Am I worthy? Am I good enough?” But then I remembered who I am talking to…if YOU say it then it is so. I have given my life to the Jesus of my church, and I will give myself to the Jesus who I know loves me and wants the best for me. It moves me to tears to hear you say so.
In the meantime, shall I quit my job and spend my days with your book and my love of a daughter? But I need an escape…the other one I fail so miserably with, is home. I cannot seem to reach her and we are always at odds, less than one hour home and we are screaming at each other. It will be a long ugly summer if we cannot get some peace…your intercession is welcomed at any time…help us.
I will try to have some fun until this all plays out. If you want me to have fun playing cards at the table it would really help if I won more often. Hint hint. Nothing is beyond your power. Thanks for giving me hope for all things and a bright future to look forward to.
I love you both (all) and would still love to hear from Mother Mary sometimes, she is most holy and loving and I have many lessons on patience love and gentleness yet to learn from her.
Denise
