Dear God,

How is it you stir in the human soul?  How do you awaken us to faith?  How do you speak to us?

Such questions will never bring us full answers because your mystical presence is beyond our full comprehension.  What we do know is you do stir, awaken and speak.

Even from a very young age I had a longing for you.  I would look up in the sky and imagine I was looking at you in heaven.  I always felt close.  I did feel a bit afraid not sure of what you were about but I sensed you were love.

As I grew older, I sought you out or was that you seeking me?  When I close my eyes, I remember the days of my breast cancer when I felt so close to you that I watched you and I dancing among the planets and stars.  You would whirl me around and I would laugh and feel such joy spilling out of me.  I remember being in a dark abyss, breathing out all my air and watching as you breathed your own air of healing into me and not only me but the women ancestors in my family.  I have so many stories of hope, healing and transformation.  I don't fully understand how it all happened; I just know that it did.

Holy and Healing God,

thank you

for your

living movement

in our lives.

Thank you

for stunning moments

when hope

rose up

out of despair,

when healing

took place

in deep wounds

and when joy

bubbled up

out of loss

and suffering.

Thank you,

Miracle God,

for your

living presence

in human lives,

particularly in

my own.

I love you.

Yours, Andrea
