Today is still October 26, 2024. Tomorrow is the anniversary of my paternal grandfather’s death. I just happened to find the memorialization in a folder in my car. Prompted by the Holy Spirit, I was directed to look for something in a bag behind my driver’s seat. That bag has been there close to two months.

Long story short, several old writings were also in that folder. The one I sent Terri Chelle in September was an entire blog she wrote in August 2008. The title was Divisible by One and it was dedicated to me and inspired by something I had written. Testimony is such a beautiful thread between friends. Also in that folder was a card clearly meant for Joyce tonight. You see, now she is coming to visit around 6 pm. It is so perfect, as she is KEY to my past year.

My sweet Lyss came in around 3:30-3:45 and she is sick with strep. I have prayed for her as my own since she was six. The biggest surprise was her telling me she is seeking God again. I assured her that if she continues to knock at His door, he WILL answer. I got quite verklempt (there is that word, again) telling her that all these years after her baptism, I still see her face whenever I hear “No Longer a Slave, I am a Child of God.” I broke into tears, and she was visibly moved.

The Holy Spirit spoke in her groanings. The Lord had prepared me to share why we should not judge any other person in any church building. It was beyond beautiful. The details beyond this are between the three of us.

As for verklempt, I did follow back up with Brother Jeremy.

Thank you, God. Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Holy Spirit. I love how you all bring me to LIFE and to LOVE.

Wowza! Amazing Godversation with GBM Tina. She loved the “Essence of Mayberry” vibe I get from her and her GBM. What a beautiful time spent encouraging her on her path. They are 28 and together 15 years.
