Must have been a wrong number...

Because she didn't choose us. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My heart sighs and hurts...especially with my sweet husband so far away and the inability to comfort each other with our arms.

She said she adored us, but that she felt like we were too far away. 

Oh, and I'm cramping, too.  Code for you know what...just adding insult to injury.  I thought I might have been, but "no" as of this morning.  At least my cramps aren't debilitating as they often are. 

I read chapter 2 of The Reed of God this afternoon before the phone call, and one quote is piercing my heart:

We are all asked if will surrender what we are, our humanity, our flesh and blood, to the Holy Spirit and allow Christ to fill the emptiness formed by the particular shape of our life.

The surrender that is asked of us includes complete and absolute trust; it must be like Our Lady's surrender, without condition and without reservation.  (The Reed of God, pg. 35)
