The package arrived!!!

Great news, everyone: the package I have been asking you to pray about for the last two weeks finally arrived yesterday! Why was I so concerned about this package? Let the contents speak for itself. Inside the box was:

  1. A recording of my brother and my cousin singing It Is Well with My Soul at my grandma's funeral (well done, Andy and Danny)
  2. A slideshow of pictures of my grandma and our family set to the song I Can Only Imagine, also shown at the funeral (I have yet to watch it b/c I need to get myself emotionally ready for that one)
  3. A bookmark with my grandma's favorite praise song printed on the back
  4. Iced tea flavored Crystal Light
  5. Sour Skittles
  6. Seasons 1 and 2 of Alias
  7. Groundhog Day
  8. A copy of the cd Happiness by the Weepies (one of my brother's new favorite bands)
  9. 3 decks of cards
  10. The most recent edition of People magazine

Items 1-3 were most important, of course. And will help me feel connected to my family in Texas as I continue to grieve the loss of my grandma. Items 4-10 are just plain fun.

So thanks, everyone, for praying about the arrival of this package. And praise God for answering!

Faye,
Just wanted to let you know that I was praying for you today: that you would be strengthened with all power according to God's glorious might and that you would serve with endurance and patience with joy.

For the joy of the Shan,
