I'm going to attempt to start from what seems to be the beginning of this story.
Saturday (May 2nd), Eileen previewed her talk at the Emmaus team meeting. Notes from her talk:
* Grace = God's active love toward us. Our response to Grace involves both love and action.
* Sanctifying grace is the process of opening ourselves to the work of the Holy Spirit in and through us. It is divine energy transforming our heart and life.
* God has more love, more power, more peace, and more joy in store for us.
* We respond by full participation in the mission of Christ in the world.
Following the church's Children's Musical on Sunday, many of our friends met at Culver's for ice cream. We had a good time chatting when suddenly I felt like my heart was going to explode out of my chest. But I wasn't scared - in fact, I was filled with joy, even though I had no idea why. I only had this overwhelming feeling that something big was going to happen soon. This physical feeling of my heart being too big for my chest continued for several days. I began to think something might be physically wrong with me, and that might be the "big thing," Just as those thoughts came along, though, the physical feeling began to subside, and I figured I'd be fine. I still didn't know what the "big thing" was.
