what a weekend

It was such an incredible weekend. There are no words for it. I was blown away by the love from the people in cripple creek.
I stopped in Cripple Creek after spending a day and a half with Eve and Carolyn on the other side of the mountains. What a magical magical day. I went to see the people at the care center. Tammy lit up when she saw me. I told her I had sent her a post card from Ireland, but it didn't get there. She asked about my trip, she asked about Micah.
I went to church at Rocky Mountain Chapel, and sang with the worship team. Marv says to me, "You're home. Everything can go back to normal now."
Those words floored me.
I was only there in Cripple Creek for like 10 weeks. How does that qualify as "normal"?  They were all so happy to see me. It was awesome.

There was 2 moments of heart attack. I was driving across the mountains from Denver to Glenwood and this Jeep passed me, I glanced over, it looked like Micah's, with the oversized tires, tint and everything. There was a girl in the passenger seat and the driver was bald. My heart stopped.  It took me a few minutes to pass them so I could check who it was. And then I could breathe again. It wasn't him.
The next day I'm at the baby shower and I get a text from Cherry in Cripple Creek. "Micah is here" My heart stopped again.
It turned out that he'd already left, but he had been there a few hours previously. Missed him by a day, though we were both in colorado at the same time. Crazy.
I talked to Donna for hours and hours. Covering everything from Micah, to her life, to louisiana, and salvation. She got really scared that I wasn't saved there for a minute, because I don't live my life in hopes of eternal life. I seriously don't give a shit one way or the other. This was impossible for her  to comprehend. I finally convinced her that we weren't actually talking about two different ways of life, just the focus is different.

Here I am, home in Louisiana again, and it's warm. :) Saw Father McIntyre this afternoon, got to talk to him as a person, so that was good. Finally got the testimony emailed to him, so now I'll let him read it and see my background. Then- I'll go talk to him, and hear what he has to say.  I hope we'll be able to be friends.
