Me: Love you too. It just seems like when it rains, it pours. Pardon the storm and rain joke. I've just got a lot of praying to do. I'm extremely nervous for your brother to be home in the fact that I don't know if these thoughts of him have been made up by me, which has happened before, or if it's really of God. If it's of me, then I'm mad at myself for not sticking to my year commitment. I really just want to guard my heart. Then there's Ashley's future and faith to pray for. Then my former and only love Joe called and he's having a hard time with the fact that his fiancee doesn't seem to want to plan a wedding anytime soon...then there's my Bible study ladies. Then Chrysalis and Bo's job situation. And you and your family...but God is good, faithful and perfect.

Jamie: I just wanted you to know I prayed for you. Also, about the Reid thing, I think all you can do is let go and let God and hope that Reid will do the same. You said before that him being the head that you have to wait and let him decide, but maybe rather than fretting about it you should just be his friend and trust that God will take care of the rest if it's to happen. If not, He might have someone else wonderful planned for you.

Me: Thanks! Just got your message. And I completely agree. I've let it go. I can only be who I am and if he's interested, great. If not, well, I have my God and really, that's where my comfort and future lie. Thanks for being such a good influence on me.
