To my friend,

This is one of those mornings that I wish you were here. I wish you were here because I’ve just been heavily convicted by the Lord. Not in a way that makes me hopelessly sad, but in a way that challenges me and stirs me in hope.

I just read through 2nd Corinthians and Ephesians.

I read them out loud and wept off and on throughout.

You would understand.

You would have probably wept with me.

You would have wept with me over the areas we had allowed something other than the Lord to fill.

You would have wept with me over the goodness and sweetness of the Lord for having such grace for us.

You would have sat with me silently as we pondered how our lives needed to look different

Different because of what we’d just read

You would probably say something that I hadn’t even thought of…

And my jaw would have dropped, and I would emphatically agree as the light bulb in my head came on

We would laugh because of the joy…because of the joy of the promise

And maybe we would even sing…because He tells us to sing.

And then we would pray…

And then we would go back into the kitchen for another cup of coffee…

And we’d go back to the chairs or the couch (depending on how cold it was)

And we’d sit again

Just me and you and the Lord

Yeah…this is definitely a morning that I miss you.

Until we meet again…

 

Love always,

Kacie
