This one is for you. FOREVER AND ALWAYS. I’m Writing You A Letter You Will Never Read MAR. 25, 2014   By  SUSIE COLEMAN I stopped checking my post when I realized that each envelope I received through the door would not be from the person that I desperately wanted to hear from. You were that person. With every clunk of the mailbox, every expectant shuffle through the bills, one letter was always missing. I realized though, that I had never sent one to you. Many times, I turned over a new page of the notepad whilst my hands shook, staining ink on my hands. My hands were stained with the ghosts of words that I wanted you to read but I never knew what they were. I felt that I should write you a book but it would be plotless. Still, each day I waited. But now I know that each day when your mailbox turns up empty, you would not look for my scrawl on some tattered envelope. But there never were words to describe you. You occupied the liminal space between love

level up!

He knows my name, He knows my every thought, He sees each tear that falls and He hears me when I call... From those simple truths, I find comfort and peace... My God knows me... He hears me, he listens. HE KNOWS... Jesus wants our faith to go a step higher again... He wants us to COMPLETELY surrender. I guess that's what he wanted from us in the beginning but I believe he is just making it clear now... I still believe that He will do great things for my dad... But to be honest, I am scared... because we are now at unpaved roads... with no more checkpoints, no more signs to follow, only with a light to look forward to... Our hope wasn't in the meds to begin with.. Our hope is in Christ alone.. Daddy, I know you're just right there but I am too chicken to say this to you... It pains me to see you like this, but I am not ready to give you to Jesus just yet... We still have a lot to do.. We still have to go to korea, have you marry mama in a church, dance at my wedding,
