Andra has been on my mind more than I can tell you. When I find myself lost in my own misery, my mind switches gear I I remember Andra and find myself turning to prayer more than ever in my life. I worked outside all Sat. afternoon-and as I worked I found myself thinking, silently, but intently about sorrows Ive faced in the last few years. Without even realizing it I found myself in prayer-for Andra-and I felt I came to know her through prayer. I admit I used some of my time with God that afternoon, asking for peace of mind, and while healing isnt in the cards for me, wellness is, so we talked about that and acceptance of what ever answers I received. As the hours passed, I realized that I had spent most of my afternoon adding Andra to every question, to every plea, to every thank you that I talked to Him about. I prayed, often as I worked, sometimes I cried, sometimes, eyes closed, I stumbled as I worked, and that was my reminder to take time to wait for, if not then, then eventually, an answer. I felt so close to God out there, working in the woods, and I had Andra with me, in the most real way, every step of the way. I can not tell you how much reassurance that gave me. I dont understand it, but I dont question it either. I know He was listening, as He always does. Its hard to explain what I felt, except to say that I felt like, although we dont know each other well, I needed her that day and I leaned on her as I talked to God, asking for the understanding and the peace that passes all understanding and that only He can provide. In a way I feel like we were conduits for each other last Sat. and I am honored to have had her in my heart, and on my mind as we made our journey through another day. I hesitated to write this-it was very personal, but I told a friend about it today and knew that Andra and I were in receipt of His love and Grace, not just last Sat. but everyday, and I am thankful for the experience. Thank you all for the updates-I check them everyday-and keep all of you in my prayers.
