I'm loving the emails. I just read Sarah's story and I was like Wow! Then I read Melody's blog and was Wow!ed again. I was like, what else God!
Then I looked at Mel's pictures. Now I'm crying again. I thought the crying was over. God had other plans.
This crying thing is a big deal to me. I've never been a cryer. There are times I've really wanted to, times emotion is pent up and if I could just get it out I would feel better. So it's a testament to the glory of God and deep workings of His power in my heart, and it's a testament to all of you, and what amazing Brothers and Sisters you are.
May our hearts never cease to burn!
Grace and peace from our God and Father!

I remembered a little story of my own as I was reading this morning.
In my literature class, I have a nice teacher, but she's pseudo-religious, and will mention God in everything, but talks about fleshly things all the time. It's like a class on the world.
I've come to sit next to this guy I don't know in there, just because it happened, and we've barely talked at all, just joked a bit. I thought he was just a friendly guy. And the day I met him I prayed for God to give me a good chance sometime in the constantly busy class to talk to him about Christ. Well yesterday I was reading my Bible and he came in and sat down. He glanced over and asked if I was doing a study on Genesis(where I was reading) and I said no, one on the whole Old Testament. I started to tell him about what we had learned about it at Eric's house and he was like, "Yeah! I hate when the Old gets ignored. People don't realize that the New is relating and revealing the Old to us, and that they're inseperable!" We talked about scripture for a few minutes then class started, and as it drew on I realized that there was no awkwardness, no 'Oh you're a Christian too" feeling. It was just right. I think this is what fellowship in Heaven will be like. There won't be any leading into conversations, getting to know yous, it'll just be us reflecting Christ to each other.
