Hey, Sister
Hiya, Sis
Whatcha doin’
Nothing really, just wanted to run something past you. Do you have a minute?
Of course, are you writing again?
Yes, it has been kinda rough lately.
Are you okay?
I’ll be okay. Ever wonder what might have been?
Yeah, I do, Auddie.
I’m finding out who I am, you know?
Do you like her?
She isn’t what I expected, but clarity produces relief so that feels good.
I’ve always known who you are, Sister.
I’m not brave enough yet.
You are to me.
I miss you, you know?
Not as much as I miss you, Aud.
I’m thinking I should write the rest of this book in Nebraska.
You mean come home for the summer?
Yes, well part of it, anyway.
Your room is ready.
I need to sit beside you.
I know.
Maybe twist my curls and tell me I’m who I’m supposed to be?
You know I will.
Just sit here with me right now and wait, okay?
Anything to help.
I can hear you breathing.
I hear you, too.
Scary knowing what you want, isn’t it?
Yes, Audrey, it is.
Are you doing okay?
No, I’m worried about you. You’ve been so quiet for so long.
I know. I’m sorry…

And scary to find out you are divine! What?! God trusts me, as a partner, to carry out my unique yet universal part in building this new Eden? What?!? That’s who I am? That’s what I came here for? Our crazy God’s laying out this whole new ballgame of bliss, on a foreign field of divinity, with new rules of kindness, grace, and mercy, new bats made of gentleness, new ricocheting balls of love, new mitts of self-control and forbearance), new teammates made of joy, and new scoreless jackpots of gratitude! And all of this for faithfulness. Especially the faith found in the roughest of Jordan rivers! His faithfulness. My faithfulness. Your faithfulness. Our faithfulness. The reign of One for all and all for One! Thank God we’re not alone!! We are safe, enroot to our new home, and ohhh what a coach we have!!
