Kris is not a follower of Jesus and so last night I was the one holding back tears as she retold what had happened to her earlier in the day. She had to be back today and was really stressed about missing work among others things. She asked God to help her through this pain and confusion of so much unknown. Almost immediately, God brought someone into her life that reminded her that she needed to be there for her mom. She recounted that a peace came over her as she started making arrangements for staying longer. The airlines changed her flight at no cost due to their bereavement policies, I will be going to the business closing in her stead (which is something I NEVER do but am capable of doing) and everyone in our business has been VERY understanding and patient. She realized that it was God and that was the only explanation for her peace after she prayed. THIS IS HUGE!!! This is my first glimmer of hope in our 5 year relationship. Please pray for the chance to really share eternal hope with Kris and for her salvation. Please pray that her family will all find peace as they say their final good-byes.

In times of pain...
I realize that our time here on this earth is precious. At this hour, my boss and friend Kris is trying to process the impending loss of her mother. She has flown to Iowa to be with her family and they are now waiting. Her mother is terminal and has been given less than a month to live. Her mom informed the family last night - "Tomorrow will be my last day". She is in hospice waiting for her body to fail. The family has been up and down. I have talked to Kris at least twice a day, sometimes she's on the verge of tears and sometimes she is on control and it's business as usual.

I'm on it sister! Praying for your words and her heart.
Thank you, my dear praying friend!
Any who read this Monday morning- I am leaving to go to my first solo Business transfer where there are lots of documents to sign and lots of questions from Buyer and Seller. I am representing the Escrow Company I work for and am normally a name without a face to our clients (we act like a title company like when you signed all your docs when you buy a home). TMI - sorry. Pray that I don't panic and that I get everything signed (not forgetting anything)! It's at 11 am MST. I would appreciate the prayers!
praying too
I made it through my first solo business transfer!! It got postponed til 5pm tonight and with the help of a friend (sweet dear Tate) & my mom (sweet dear mom) the girls got home from school & practice, got fed and were almost ready for bed when I returned home from traveling down to Denver and back. Thank you dear sweet praying friends!
Did I mention T is in Louisville, KY all week? Yucky dead-grass icing on the mud cake, my friends...
Glad it all went well for you today. Your boss/friend's experience is so tough. Praise God that you are led by the Spirit when you speak to her, though. Praying for you and for her.
God is faithful, isn't He? Faithful to take care of Kris AND you! Look how big he is in all these little details.
That is great, Christy! I am praying for you & for your boss. Wish I had read this yesterday so I could have asked you about it today... :)
