I read this feeling thrills and chills. I'm sure that you have correctly imagined God's feelings for Ann.

So beautifully written, so lovingly researched, and so important for all of us! Thank you!

Thank you! At the end, it is Ann's words imagining God looking down at her--she uses the 3rd person. Isn't that incredible? Her voice is so modern, and the fact that she uses her own name makes it easy to mistake that part for my words, but they are hers. It's a powerful voice!

I love how you framed this, how you brought her own voice in. This is beautiful. I'm sure she'd be proud of you.
