KML, I need to get that book. I hope my life settles down enough so I can read some stuff again!
But I did manage to read "The Shack". WOW--I don't like fiction that much any longer but THAT BOOK-- It's amazing! I have 20 more pages to go and I DON"T WANT IT TO END!!!
And the really, really weird thing? A LOT of these random strangers I meet that are so helpful and encouraging to me are older black women.
I met another one yesterday. She's going to be 62 in a couple of months. She has been off drugs 15 years. She works at the vocational school I'm thinking of going to. I started talking to her--I don't know HOW these things happen--about just general stuff and the next thing you know she pulls out this devotional and she tells me she was so annoyed that she was reading this particular page today but now realizes--it was for me!
I read it and I got goosebumps everywhere--I couldn't believe how it applied to me.
My life is SO STRANGE and wonderful all at the same time....
