I have been praying for you.
These are powerful words.
One of my friends, Ryan, said them to me this week. He indicated that he had specifically been praying for me throughout the month of July.
July was a month of surprises and transitions for me, but I had been able to respond in ways that surprised others and even myself. I had attributed it to catching up and having some extra time in my schedule after the end of clinical pastoral education and vacation. This may be partially true, but I believe that my friend’s prayers were foundational to the goodness in the month of July.
Sometimes people ask, “What would be helpful for you?” My most common response is, “Pray for God’s will to be done in my life and that I might be about God’s work and let me know that you are praying.”
Thanks, Ryan.

I’m a littls slow but when you tell me you are praying for me, I agree wholeheartedly. Those words mean a lot & they keep me going during this time! Thanks, Andrew!
Mary – I am glad. Know that you continue to be in my prayers.
