Mother Teresa once said, “If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other.” I thought of this quote after I got to spend some time with a couple of former students from over a decade ago. They each shared new and exciting chapters in their healing journeys, and I got to share mine. The beauty of where stories interweave and how the Lord allows that is a tremendous gift. My healing isn’t just for me. Nor is our students’ healing just about them. The Agony is, to me, a picture of us belonging to each other.

Heavenly Father, I praise you for my sister in Christ, Zoya. I thank you for giving her the courage and ability to ride long and far. I thank you for her steady faithfulness and desire to see you move greatly at the Ranch. God, would you put a specific song on her heart, and remind her of your character. I pray you would give her supernatural perseverance and delight on the road. I thank you of your deep, deep love of her. You are mighty, Lord, and you are in the business of restoration and making beauty from ashes. In Jesus’ name, amen.
Go Zoya!! You are doing awesome, we are praying for you this evening!
ZOYA! I think what you wrote about us all belonging to each other is beautiful. I am so proud of your own healing, and the healing you fight to support in others. Take care of yourself out there. Jesus like a gentle Shepherd leads us (emphasis on "gentle Shepherd"). Watching from afar! <3 Chiara
