Dear God,

Thank you for Tchaik 4... :)  I just listened to the wonderfully
 dissonant section with the bass trombone playing tri-tones... 
and I nearly died. :)


I feel really happy right now... Thank you for bringing Concetta 
to the restaurant.  I am so thrilled and excited to have a 
Christian friend at WORK... it's wonderful and I am so happy and 
cannot wait! It's just going to make things wonderful and safer 
and easier and better.  I just have this overwhelmingly good 
feeling about it.  Her room-mate/best friend, Kristin, is also 
the bomb... they are both wonderful.  Thank you for the way 
everything worked out today... I went to church with Concetta 
today because my car was stuck in the parking garage because of 
the parking ban last night, and on the spur of the moment last 
night, I just asked the girls if they would bring me to their 
church with them... and they did.  I really liked the service... 
I miss the music of the vineyard... but I was just really happy 
to be back in your presence, Lord... I've been away too long.


You are really working something fierce in my life right now, 
and I so much appreciate that you care about my life so much to 
take such an active stance...

I am overwhelmed by your generosity and love.  Everything 
happens for a reason, and you are so much in control that it 
completely baffles me.  Last night, when Concetta and I were 
just starting to get to know each other, you made me feel 
comfortable talking about you, and then I knew... without a 
doubt.  You are so real, Lord... when I am on the brink of 
falling apart, I can feel your arms around me, and I can feel 
your hands wiping away my tears.  I can hear your voice 
saying "good girl" when I finally let go of something...


I adore you, Lord...
I just need to be reminded every now and then.

Thank you and thank you and thank you...
and Lord,
please just don't give up on me, even when I stage my mini-
rebellions...  It's still all about you, Jesus...


your loving daughter,
Meredith
