This One’s For Edie

I believe that the hand that guides my seeking

is the hand of God.

Sometimes this nameless, simple search,

as in looking for a blog voice that speaks to me,

reaps wonderful results.

Life (in) Grace

blog

and its writer Edie

are a testament to that surprising bounty and

guided search.

It is almost as if God whispered-

‘Look here.’

After learning that Edie

had lost her home and all of her

earthy possessions in a devastating fire,

a sense of urgency to email her

settled in my heart.


Here is a brief excerpt

from that email.

***

…When I first read about your home, I thought,
 
'Edie has a higher calling.'
 
Through your blog,you have ministered to us all, and I have gloried in your intelligence and your special, spiritually guided
turn of phrase.
 
This is going to kick you UP- not out.

You are destined for more.
 
You will write more-
read more-
love more-
   teach more-
 
This is the crucible that will hone your spirit further.
 
 
You are destined for more Edie.
