Oh, sweet friend. My heart aches for you over your losses and yet it leaps for what I know God has in store for you. Gifts beyond imagining. Adventure. New friendships. Continued health care. And time with your husband. Praying for enormously great and good things ahead for you….

LOVED LOVED this: The boy replied, “I know God is the same everywhere, but I am not. So, I go where I can feel God and listen to God best.”

Praying for you like crazy, girl. I can’t wait til you can look back on this dark time and say, “Wow, God was setting me up for The Amazing the whole time!” It’s gonna happen.

Oh Kelli, As I read this my soul filled with excitement for you. What an incredible calling the Lord has asked you to take on. WOW! He trusts you so much to place you in such a place where you can be such a light to people who need his Light soooo much. It will be hard but you might find that sometimes the things that seem so hard become the easiest as we follow His direction in our lives. The Lord believes in you and knows you. I am so thrilled. LOVE You!!!

Although I’ve known, I’m stunned once more as I read your letter. Everything in me cries, “No!” and at the same time I am so proud of you, of who you are and of the faith you demonstrate as you walk God’s path.

Don’t worry; I don’t have you on a pedestal. I know you are human and that you’ve had your Irish conversations with God, but that doesn’t change the example you are to those who long to make Christ the Lord of all of their life. When I grow up I want to be like you.

I love you, dear lady. And though I am certain you are in God’s hands I weep.

Kelli, the tears fell as I read this post. I can’t imagine the tremendous shock of what you must be feeling. I think during our personal hurricanes we sometimes grow the most, (but boy, we wish it wasn’t so!)

You know you’ll have to keep a journal/diary for that forthcoming book (even if you just tuck those thoughts away mentally for now). God is going to raise you up to do this! I have a feeling He is preparing you and Dennis for something bigger than you ever imagined.

I’m praising Him for you, and I’ve committed to pray for you both daily!

Wow Kelli- did not see this coming (no duh right?). I’m so sorry for the shock. He is faithful and will reveal himself to you in new ways there. I will be clinging to every typed word here and along for the ride.. and did I mention He is faithful? It will be good… It will.

And in the meantime. I’m so sorry!

It’s been a couple of days since I read this for the 2nd time and now a third. Boy do I need to read this and plant it in my heart.

Thank you . . . again.

I’ve never heard the term–God, the Great Couch Redeemer–but I love it! And I stand by with great expectation to see how He will once again redeem these well traveled couches.

Our God is a great God who offers hope, peace and purpose. He will not let you down.

Hugs across the miles.

Beautiful post, Kelli. Thanks so much for being so transparent and filling us with hope in the process! Prayers with you in this current “bite” as I know how that feels. And I’d love to read a book by you someday:)

@Judy: Thanks, Judy. I’m sure I’ll feel more spiritual later, but right now, when *I* read this post, what I feel isn’t inspiration but consternation over the endless merry-go-round of heartaches and challenges! Just when I get through one… WHAMMO. Janet says they keep coming because I haven’t written my book yet, and the Lord thinks I need more material.
