hhhhhh

there's so many things to ask for Lord
so many concerns and needs and desires and wants
but first..... i just have to breathe in the slightly stale pizza-tinted air here in upper archer and thaaaaaaank you from the bottom of my heart for every moment every heartbeat every soul every sprout in the ground and droplet of water falling on the windows.
you are a great and marvelous God. you are a supreme and awesome wonder and i worship you tonight in this old building and think of the dear sister so far away.....
God.
be in her.
be her comfort when she is afraid and unsafe inside.
she desires to live in the present, but Lord. do more than that.
help her to just be so static and electric with every passing moment.
that from the first crack of her eye opening in the morning her heart would sing to live for you. her soul would shine with a light that pushes her to want more and more abundant life.
let her heart not be troubled about fears involving chase and his wellbeing.
Lord. he is safe in the palm of your hand and let that same hand that holds him stroke caitlin while she waits patiently to be with Chase again. let them be close in spirit and that your sweet sweet peace would infuse her.
Lord be with her mind as she prepares for the celebration of her life that is coming up in June (!!!!!!) please lead her thoughts through and around creative ideas that make her happy and excited and let her preparation for this occasion be one of order and peace.
peace
peace
peace
peace Lord
that is what i ask for and i really hope you deliver it super quick and just always and always to my darling Caitlin. my sister, mother, partner and companion.
love,
Steph

beauty supreme...

father,

i haven't been very faithful in keeping up with the daily comings and goings of my friend steph. but i thank you so much for her and her presence in my life, even though were thousands of miles apart.

whatever struggles she's having, please be real and in the midst of that. thanks for her faith. whatever questions she's dealing with, bring her peace, even if there aren't answers. whatever difficulties she's having as an RC, give her patience. help her to be selfless and loving and real with people. bless her relationships. keep her safe so i can see her and hug her again.

help her to be herself.
don't let her run too dry, okay?
give her all those good things and blessings that you've promised us. she shows that she loves you more than almost anyone i've ever known. i know you'll bless that.

in jesus' name,
so be it.
