Okay, now you piqued my interest -- you been hanging out at the "tease" Seeker blog too long today, you know it?? EXPLAIN, PLEASE!!<br /><br />PEPPER ... I am SO sorry, my sweet friend -- I did not know that your beloved granny went home to be with the Lord! I wish you had told me so I could be praying for you through this, but I will start now. My deepest condolences.<br /><br />Aw thanks, JANET, for your kind words. I am blessed that God connected us together AND to the Seekers!<br /><br />MYRA ... it's funny how each of our stories "trigger" things in us and other people. One of the many reasons God has blessed us with the privileged profession of writing for Him, so He can use our words to hopefully heal and bring others to Him.<br /><br />EDWINA ... thanks again for your hospitality. You are a blessing to me and to The Seekers!!<br /><br />Hugs,<br />JulieJulie Lessmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00406395645316139292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1786368593727565472.post-63032439752537681902010-10-06T15:07:14.978-04:002010-10-06T15:07:14.978-04:00HANNAH!!!

My treat!!<br /><br />MARY, thanks, my friend, and we already know God is "blessing you" mightily, but I say bring it on more, Lord!!<br /><br />Aw, thanks, TEENSTER! Grin ... and I'm glad it made you "get me" in a whole new way ... I think. :/<br /><br />CARA ... now you sound like my sister, Pat, who is ALWAYS after me to write our family story. But, uh, I write "Calgon, take me away" stories, not "slice of dysfunctional life," remember??? Thanks for coming by, my friend.<br /><br />MICHELLE!!! I'm gonna start calling you and Hannah "Old Faithful" because whenever I'm on a blog, you guys are there!

Edwina, thanks for placing Julie's story here. It's very powerful and hits a cord with so many people. <br />I can't imagine feeling unloved by a parent, but I know the feeling of loss - especially right now.<br />My beloved granny went to meet Jesus on Friday. One second there...the next, gone. But you know, the amazing part was, the last four days of her life, she 'saw' him in her room. She was talking to him. He took her hand from this world and walked with her to the next...a hand she'd never released since she took his over 60 years before.<br /><br />This post was beautiful, Julie, and was a deepset reminder of how faithful Windowsill Jesus is. Whether we walk to that window or not, he is still there, watching, waiting, keeping our hearts securely fastened when we don't even know if the next beat will break us or not.<br /><br />And he's there to remind us - we are His, loved, held, and adored beyond our wildest dreams.<br /><br />I'm so thankful you had a Katie, Jules. But more important, I'm so thankful you had a persistent Rescuer of your Soul, who would not stop chasing you until you were caught.Pepperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02771295798003844102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1786368593727565472.post-68194427292902846832010-10-06T07:23:17.699-04:002010-10-06T07:23:17.699-04:00WOW, what a story!

It's been such a blessing to me to meet people who share a love for Christian fiction and have a heart for God. Like you said, Julie Lessman is one of those special people! What a treat it must have been for you to meet her in person! I pray to have that opportunity some day. :-)<br /><br />Sweet Blessings,<br />MichelleMichellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06111576612128164411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1786368593727565472.post-43178197629165170212010-10-05T22:51:39.421-04:002010-10-05T22:51:39.421-04:00Julie, this is such an amazing story!

It oozes from any conversation you have with her even just online or through email. That's what kind of person Julie is. <br /><br />I'm so glad that you enjoy her books too! Lol...I confess, I've only read A Passion Most Pure on my Kindle. I'm trying to get the next two and I won AHU from Ashley!! Man, it's such a tease to look at it everytime I get in my car (yes, it's in my car! LOL!). BUT I know if I wait and read the others first it will be sooooo much better!!<br /><br />I so look forward to the day that I can meet Julie : ) And Edwina it would be lovely to meet you too!<br />Thanks for this GREAT post!<br />HannahProject Journalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01996866245417584719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1786368593727565472.post-74099186892054022432010-10-05T10:18:26.647-04:002010-10-05T10:18:26.647-04:00Gosh, Edwina, I blubber like a baby every single t...Gosh, Edwina, I blubber like a baby every single time I read this thing, and actually, it's a little embarrassing that it still has such a profound effect on me.
