Oh my gosh!
I got to hear your voice today! I practically flew over the pews - as your call came through at 11:37 am, in church - and jumped up so fast ... it was a phone call I had been hoping for, as a few parents had posted on Facebook that they got their calls yesterday. It was so quick, but so so lovely.
I wasn't lying when I said that I am constantly praying for you. I miss you, and Daddy misses you, and I think your sisters miss you too! God keeps giving me verses for you, and when I get them I stick them in a card for you... which is why I keep writing you. I hope they offer a touch of encouragement when you are struggling. My most favorite thing today was to hear the strength in your voice, and the clarity - very evident that you're doing well. And hello? Squad leader? Way to go, girl!
So, word for today... one that you've known since you were little: Phillipians 4:13 "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." Christ is doing all things through you, Jael. He is giving you strength, determination, grace, more strength, and probably that much needed sleep that you need.
I am bursting with pride. After jumping over the pews to take your call, it was so hard to not run into church and scream "I got to talk to my girl!!!". Thank goodness it was the end of the service so I could start telling anyone who would pause to listen (and even some who wouldn't pause - I would stop them anyway!).
Then, to find out that you still were able to call Mike, and Jana and Jeanette - I am so thankful that you wanted to make those connections on your one chance to call home. Each of us got a little blessing of you today. I can't explain to you how precious that is, to each of us!
Love you sweet girl -
continue to cling to Jesus for all of your needs!
Your very proud Momma
