Well, that girl I asked you to pray for and thought I might never see/ she may never choose to talk to us again? she showed up at church tonight. My immediate reaction? I don't know if I could even describe it. Here, in the flesh, is the person I wasn't sure I'd ever see again. Absolute joy to see her alive, if not entirely "well". And that feeling that somebody had kicked me in the stomach. What do you say to someone who has hurt you so much? To someone that you really can't address those issues with? and of course you meet in a public place, where very few people know about the happenings of the last few days.....and then finding out that she's decided to come stay at your house for a few days....but yet she wants her space and doesn't want us "prying". Please, please pray! The 'Jane Bennet' side of me wants to just trust and comfort, but there is still a lot of hurt between us. The next few hours and days are going to be so very difficult. Please pray that we would be gracious in spite of our very human emotions!
