modern prophetess...

in my culture when a person leaves this place and moves on we don't speak their name for a year...for a multitude of reasons.

i want to mention her though because upon remembrance, she was a large part of the lives of my family for a long, long time...

when pregnant with my first son, she was the one who came up to me with the first congratulatory hug...while in labor with this son, she faithfully came to the hospital to pray with me and kind of do crowd control (our church was very family oriented).

she and her husband adopted a young boy from south america...this boy became close friends with one of my sons and we were connected throughout the youths of these sons...

i moved away, she moved away but she often reconnected with me and sent me many encouraging and uplifting emails; when she could she spoke powerful truth into my life and forever her gentle yet firm grasp of honesty in the Spirit will stay with me...

i'm happy for her to have moved on, she's now in the place she always longed to be...i will miss her and am grateful to have had her in my life.

blessings and hugs to you my sister.
