To Katie:

There is a verse that i have scribbled down on a post-it that i almost forgot about until our conversation tonight, uh, this morning. It's what the angel of the Lord commands to the apostles as it sets them free from jail..."Go! Stand in the temple courts...and tell the people all about this new life" (acts 5:19)

Thank you for telling me stories about how you are telling, and other are telling (and you all are living) this new life.

Thank you for reminding me gently and with much grace, who i am and who i am called to be!

Thank you for reminding me that success is not the point, faithfulness is.

i love you, i feel encouraged to live into that new life and tonight i felt i was nearer to God than i have been in a really long time.

Thanks and LOVE,

Linda
