the BIGS: peter and his treatment, jeremiah being home for the summer and all our extra time, an amazing free vacation opportunity, our finances during this season of peter not working. and the littles: what to serve for dinner, where to park on race day, will our passports arrive on time, what will we eat on the plane, why is my percentage of body fat so high, what will my long time hairdresser say when she sees my "supercuts" bangs...yep, you name it; i have angst over it. i have even worried i haven't been blogging! oh my chrissy. settle your silly precious heart.
i made a panic phone call today...in tears, i called sister suzie. here she is and what a precious hat she is modeling. {she doesn't own or wear it...she just saw it and desired a photo of her modeling it-kind of Alice and Wonderlandish on her way to that infamous tea party don't you think?}
she is not a sister in the nun sense of the word...but a sister in the Christ sense of the word AND she happens to be peter's sister! so we are like related {read this like a valley girl & add a "fur sure" if it meets your fancy}which makes it all the more perfect. i no longer have a mom to call and this very wise and Godly woman calms my soul, loves me thru my tears and blubbering, and most importantly...prays with me. she doesn't say, "oh, i will pray for you". she stops the conversation mid sentence and calls out to God to calm my worrisome soul. she is my paul. she prays without ceasing just as he wrote about in thessalonians. she reminds me there are no set of circumstances that are too much for me and my God to handle. so today, in spite of my bothersome self, i am thankful for a God greater than my situation and i am grateful for sister suzie to remind me when my simple mind forgets.
who is your "suzie"...or do you fill that precious place in another's life pointing her to God when she has forgotten Him?
