I slept until 1030 so I didn't make it to church. I was supposed to usher. I think I'm going to drop out because I'm either at Susan's or I'm sick. I should have gone to church last night. I didn't even shower or get out of my sweats today. I ordered out for pizza for the first time in years. Yesterday all I ate were 3 protein bars. That's not good, but I'm out of food. I suppose I'll go to the store after work tomorrow no matter how bad I feel.
Now.....for the thing I've been praying for for years.....and I mean years. Susan called me today and asked me to baptize her next time I visit.....in 2 weeks. I cried and cried and thanked and thanked God for answered prayer. That means we can all be together in heaven......my biggest dream. When she moved further away from me, I was a wreck. I didn't want her and the grandchildren that far away. So I prayed that God would provide a friend for her that would lead her to Christ. One of the first people she met was a pastor's wife. I couldn't plan that any better.......only God could. God is so good! For a long time in my Christian life, I didn't believe prayer really worked. But I have seen so much answered prayer not only in my life, but in the lives of my friends. I believe God can work anything for good and that makes life's crappy things easier to take. Heaven is for eternity and this life is but a blip on the screen of life. That gets me through the terrible pain times.....knowing this won't last.....that when I get to heaven I'll be pain-free and have energy. I can't wait! Thank you, Father, for my incredible life and for both my daughter's lives.
