Dear God,

Whew! What a conversation! You amaze me, Lord. How do you handle all the people in the world with their questions and their problems and their issues? It exhausts me when I'm given just one at a time. :) But I love you, Lord, and I love what you are doing in the girls' lives that you send to me.

Lord Jesus, would you please just be with Ashley and Nicole as they try to sort out their hurts? Oh Father, they are both wonderful girls. I'm so thankful that their hearts want to follow you. God, I know you are capable of overcoming anything--even the deepest of our hurts, Lord. And I can see, Father, you working at least in Nicole's life. It's been too long since I've talked to Ashley... Lord, if you want to send her to me, go ahead--but do give me the strength to handle it too! Ah, I know you will. You're far stronger than me. Thank goodness. LOL... Thank you, I suppose. A funny phrase...

Praise you for humor. I believe it is one of the best gifts you gave us, God.

Anyway, Jesus, I just wanted to bring those girls to your attention, even though I know you're already looking out for them. Make your promise come true: that you'll finish what you begin in us.

Love you, Jesus.

In your name, Amen.
