I'm taking you back in my journal and there was a moment
that was inspirational to me and helped me when I needed it.
On May 13, 2019, I was sitting in my living room one morning
and I was very sad and lost for words. My daughter Rachel, who
was a Senior at that time, was sitting across from me
in a soft brown chair. I looked up to her
and I said, " I am done writing to " broken places."
I just can't write
anymore and tears flow from my face. Rachel, blurts out and
says, " But Mom! You can't give up! They need you to write
to them too!
They need "Embrace the Cross!" I looked at her and
never spoke a word. I went into my kitchen and sat at
my table. I pulled out some paper from my small black
desk and began to write my letter. Throughout all my writings
since January 17, 1994, no one has ever told me not to give up!
I instantly knew she was right. "Embrace The Cross" isn't about me
nor my feelings. It's about people in need of prayer!
It's about others willing to join into others pain and sorrows.
It's about others asking for God's Help and in need of his strength.
My letter flowed.
May we find the strength from Our Lord to be able to help others
even if it is uncomfortable and painful.
