Lu

Mary Lu Everett - will you marry me?

Heh heh, I guess, Lu and I still wish that the other was male so we could marry each other. I will always think that we were meant to be together more than we are and that something is very very wrong with the world.

[Sorry, but I think I'm gonna babble on this one]

Lu is that friend that I will always long for from time to time. She's the one that I can feel in the pit of my stomach - that missing place. That warmth, that joy, that solid strength that I miss in her literally hurts. I remember thinking that I finally got what it was to "adore" a friend. I just adore her - and I don't mean that in the flippant way we usually mean it when we say it.

I just connected with her in a way that I never had connected with anyone before and I never have since. There was this understanding between she and I that seemed to be on a near-blood level. It's like she instinctively became my friend. She's just irresistable!

I always trust her to genuinely like me (even when she doesn't) and she will be honest with me to a fault. She's just so solid... she should be taller. Her strength is immovable. The confirmation in her convictions is intimidating, and she KNOWS her Bible, man!

You taught me about prayer warring. Thank you.

And did you guys know that God made the stars just for her? I cannot look up at a clear sky at night without thinking of you, Lu.

I miss you, Lu, and I hope and pray that everything is wonderful where you are (Tennessee?). I hope you're still inspiring and pushing and teaching people around you. I'm sure you are.

Love you,
C
