Kathy

i had a really emotional day, and i had a chance to talk to Kathy Collins tonight (Linda's mom). She said something that hit me hard. She said that the love i feel from Linda is really God loving me through her. It's Linda's arms around me, but God's love directing them and His love pouring over me. I've never thought of it in that way, and Kathy said that this is something that won't change. God will keep loving me through people, even though the people may pull away or stop loving me, God will bring someone else to me to show me His love. This idea is completely new to me, and it's one i think i can maybe accept easier than God being the only one to really love me. God is great, but he doesn't hug me or watch a movie with me, or go to dinner with me. She also said that God has plans for me but he doesn't show me what they are until it's time for them. Not early and not late, but right on time. So if it seems like my future is uncertain , it's just that it's not time for the next step. God let me know about this internship three weeks before it started, and i'm set here until August so i really shouldn't be trying to plan anything until much closer to the end of my time here. When i was crying Kathy wrapped me up in a hug and prayed over me, which is exactly what Linda does. She was very understanding and helped me a lot, so Thank You Kathy! i love you!
