"Before we ask, He answers"
or
"Blessed to tears... again!"

One of my favorite persons in this world is my dear Aunt Phyllis. She once told me, "Rob (she still calls me by my childhood name :)), you can take 10,000 steps way from Jesus, but it's never more than one back." I've been telling men that for a good ten years now, always telling them, "My dear Aunt Phyllis once told me..."

The last time I relapsed—well, the time before my last ever relapse—I was reincarnated. I broke my Aunt Phyllis's heart, I'm sure. And I've not heard from her or spoken to her in fourteen years.

Approximately four weeks ago, I asked the church here, My Aunt Di, and many others to pray for reconciliation for me and Aunt Phyllis. Then I did my part and sent off a card to my cousin Maru, requesting that he give it to Aunt Phyllis.

Today, I got a card and letter—a blessed letter!—from my Aunt Phyllis. The funny thing is it was sent way back when I'd asked for the prayer! :) Ha! That's my God! After the tears dried, I wrote this. :)

Num 6:24-26
