Faraway Friend (part 2)

God is so precious. My prayers have been answered. I spoke with my friend . We cried.

The way is being prepared for them to come home. So many strangers have showered them with love. God is omnipotent.

The journey is not yet over. A new path begins.

Faraway Friend

Imagine being in a motel room in a far away place all by yourself and knowing no one immediately around you. You're held captive to this space for almost 7-8 hours. Your loved one is 5 minutes away in a hospital, and you're not allowed to remain with him. Cry out...

My heart aches...for my friend. I can't hug her. I can't comfort her. I can't look into her eyes and remind her that God is in control. I can't even tell her "I love you!". She is far away. I can't get to her. Cry out...

ThreeForLife...

Hear~Speak~See... I have come into my own self hearing others, speaking out for others, and seeing the good in others. BUT...I'm not much of a writer because I have a self-problem. I'm afraid of what I write. Yes, I even go so far as to peruse through my things periodically to erase any written material I have. Am I crazy?

So quess what? I 'm going to blog. I'm throwing my fears to the wind and sailing against my "safe life" current. Help!

Here's why and how I am doing this. First, a really good friend and I were talking today about my seeing her children on her friend's blog. We began to have a discussion about blogging and how I have been thoroughly blessed by several blogs. She suggested that I try it but I said NO-oooooooooooooooo! I confessed to her my fear of writing down something permanent and the actual fact that...people would SEE IT! Heavens to betsy! (If she only knew how terrified I was inside at that particular moment!...Now she knows.) Second, she made me realize that by blogging I would be facing my fears straight forward. (Even now I am so-o-o-o conscious of what I am typing.)

So to my friend W, I thank you.
