uninvited

Have you ever showed up at a dinner party and the hostess had no idea you were coming?
Embarrassment and anxiety swirling around every guest. Shifting eyes. The hostess is gracious and welcoming and finds a tattered chair for the corner of the dining table.

That's how I feel about my life.
I showed up without an invitation and ruined the energy of the party.

Everyone wants to comfort me and say the more the merrier, but there clearly isn't room at the table.

Analee,
I remember a story of a King who gave a big feast. He invited all his friends and guess what-- they were all too busy with life. So he sent out for the homeless, the poor and lame and they were brought in to sit at the King's feast instead! So however you end up at the Kings table, you are an invited guest! Guess what-- there is room at the table!
luv and hopefully you can feel the encouragement I want to convey to you, my sweet niece,
