March 26

Today was hard. I went to bed last night crying and woke up feeling much the same. I asked God to be real --undeniably real-- to me today. And I think He was.

I took Isaac to his dance class this morning, and while I was there, my friend Tammy asked me how I was doing. And we chatted. And suddenly, I heard her telling me things --giving me pieces of advice and encouragement-- that were precisely what I needed to hear at that moment. So (much to her horror) I pulled out my phone and snapped a photo.

I love it when God speaks to me through others' words. And I really love it when I realize that it's happening in the moment. It is --for lack of a better, more descriptive term-- a truly magical experience.
