Well, I did get together to “jam” with Debi and friends a few times. But mostly she and I just hung out together with her grand baby and neighbor across the street. Debi, oh you gotta know, was very pushy about Jesus! Can you believe that!! I told her to knock it off. I had enough of that crap in my life and it was not to be crammed down my throat. Her neighbor, Sheila told her to stop trying to make be believe. Good girl Miss Sheila!!
Altho I got along with my new friends it was short lived. No…Debi did not push me away. A man came into my life. For 4 months to long!!! Go figure right? Anyway, he was not as kind as I thought and in that time I was told I had cancer. Of the lymph nodes. I tell you..I was scared! I wanted to get “my house in order!” Who did I turn to for that? Debi! She was very comforting and invited me to church in Abbot. There was a church in that small town? Never went that direction so I did not know. So I went. Met Jesus there. I began my relationship with Jesus and I can not tell you anything about that infliction of cancer and treatment names. Don’t care to ever know. All I know is the surgeon told me a year later according to his point of view (and others) I should not have survived it. That my GREAT AMOUNT of FAITH saved me.
I knew better than that. “No… The faith the size of a mustard seed moves mountains. Jesus healed me. 
” This was in 1997. He knows the plans He has for us, you see?
A few months later I went to a ladies re-treat with Debi and her mom. There I met Connie. What a dry, serious, unfriendly woman. I did not like her. She never laughed at any of my jokes! She said “what is so funny about that?” WELL! I avoided her for most the time! Now I will tell you this. If it were not for the fact that Debi and Connie are sister-in-laws, I would not have been out on that walk on that particular day that God spoke to Connie’s heart.
“Girls, can I ask you a question?”
Well why not I figured. We had just gone for an amazing walk to three crosses on a hill….sang up there on that hill to the Lord…Ran and soared with wings of eagles…. yea, I guess she could ask a question.
“Can I sing with you? I feel the Lord wants me to sing with you two. Would you think about it? ”
My knee jerk response was almost “no!” but Debi, being a more mature Christian said, “Hey, if that is what God is saying to you, who am I to say no?”
“Breath deep Lynn…..God talks to her. How bad can she be?” I thought as we walked along.
