Changes Friend

I have lost a friend but she is shining down from heaven. She was one of the most beautiful Christian women that I had ever known. She always put Jesus first and always said she would do what he had asked. I was devastated when she died but I was thrilled that she was definately where God wanted her. I lost another friend as she distanced herself with this loss. I didn't understand that. There was a void in my heart and I didn't know what to do with it. I pray every day for God to heal the void. I felt lost but felt there was a purpose for my life? I know God has a place for me? I am praying he will put me in international mission work but I pray he will use me where he wants. I am so thankful that I was hired for the census as that allows me to save up the money for the trips. I am so thankful for an opportunity to go or send someone where they can teach and serve others. God be with Mary as she attends her son's wedding, as she gets a daughter in law, as she hugs her other son. God unlike Marsha, I will ask you to bring her back. Bring her home. We need her and she belongs here for now. She has work to do.
