One Person...

My favorite Sunday School teacher filled in for my 2nd favorite Sunday School teacher this morning - and MAN - was I glad I got out of bed, dressed and went to church. It was so worth it! Ever had a day like that?

The whole lesson was a smash hit in my book - but the one line that has been floating in my brain ever since 10 AM this morning is this...

"I would rather have one person praying for me, than 100 people wishing me good luck." 

It is a direct quote from the teacher's father - another man at my church who I adore! And the line - well, I think I will use it from now until eternity. I am fortunate enough to know that there is one and even a few more that are praying for me always. This strength has pulled me through many dark days and because of that - I have learned the power of  a praying one.

There is one soul that floats through this world that I have prayed for and will continue to pray for daily - it is a habit borne of years - 28 years in fact and it is not about to slow down, no matter what! The "no matter what" is currently that this person has dismissed me and all I believe in and where there once was communication and relationship - there is now silence and brokenness. I can take it - Jesus went through worse for me -- but it still stings. To know someone is deliberately running from grace and mercy is the saddest sight to have to sit and watch. And because it is so heartbreaking to me - I can't watch -I can only pray from the sideline...

So, know this -- PERSON WHO SHALL FOREVER BE NAMELESS ON THIS BLOG (I kinda need a little symbol for them - like Prince had in the 90's)... there is this one person in this world praying for you - and although you may be happiest about the 100 people wishing you good luck right now...I pray that one day, the prayers of this girl will mean at least a little something to you in your life. You can't have true happiness in life, until you acknowledge where that true happiness comes from...and when you are ready to talk about it once more --you know where I will be....

Happily!
