		<description>Anna,
I just have to say thank you for caring for these kids that have so much value and are able to receive an impossible gift through your help, namely LOVE, and the joy &#38; confidence that's emerging is just a small sign that it is worth it all.  You're my favorite M!</description>

		<description>Anna!!

Amen to what you said.  That stuff really resonates w/ me.  God has been showing me a lot of the same lessons this past year.  You're right!  our behavior doesn't dictate God's blessings toward us.  You can do everything right and He can have suffering in store for you all the same.  And other times He rains down abundant blessings for no apparent reason except that you're his daughter/son.  CS Lewis said something powerful in "the screwtape letters" that has encouraged me when God seems absent, withdrawn, and even uncaring.  The whole 8th chapter is good, but the end of the chapter is especially powerful:

"do not be deceived, wormwood (junior demon).  Our cause is never more in danger than when a human, no longer desiring, but still intending, to do our Enemy's (GODS) will, looks round upon a universe from which every trace of Him seems to have vanished, and asks why he has been forsaken, ...and still obeys." -pg 40

Anna, your faith inspires me.  Keep it up.  I'm so glad HE's feeling close right now!  It's such a gift.</description>
