While in the midst of Sage's birthday extravaganza, I can't not mention something that has happened just a week ago on January 17th that is very close to my heart. A dear "friend," although that seems like a light term for her, Linda Noe, suffered a severe stroke last week. This is my mother's best friend. She was my pastor's wife in my church from the time I was 5 until I moved here to Alabama (I moved here and lived with her daughter, son-in-law and their children for 2 years), where she and her husband retired from that position as senior pastors not too long after that, though not retiring from work or ministry.
She is family, and I don't have the time or words to say how special and lovely she is. If you could see her and her family's facebook wall, it might give you a glimpse of everyone that loves her. Trust me, it's a lot. She's been a part of every major event in my life. Graduating high school, wedding rehearsal and dinner, reception, having my first child....I cannot think of a time she wasn't there. I love her like I love my own mother. Linda is the prime example of the Proverbs 31 lady. Everyone wants to be like her. Her stroke was very severe, as well as its effects. Her family along with countless others, including myself, are believing for nothing short of a miracle in spite of what doctors say. If you wouldn't mind, take a second and join your faith with our's for this miracle for this precious lady, Linda Noe.
