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.
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.

and to meet your new friend.
Happy Birthday Edie-
Love, Laura
