Having spent the last several days in the Word and working on our next year’s Dgging Deep study, I have come, as is the case, every single year, to love the Word more; all of it, for every single aspect of my life, for all of my days. I think that’s what digging in the Word does for sisters…it just sets our affections more firmly on things above. Another thing that gives me a more focused heavenward view is the deaths of people I love. For all of us, the number of loved ones who’ve passed into eternity grows each year. (In fact, this year seemed to have more sad goodbyes than most, for me.)
Next year’s Digging Deep study will be dedicated to the sisters who went on to the great reunion while digging. That’s where I need your help. I’d like to make a list, in the next book, of the women who have gone on to the place where all the answers to all the questions are already answered; and where the Practically Speaking section has already been finally completed by lives lived to the finish line for His glory!
Do you know of a sister who passed from this life in the middle of any digging year—a sister who left this life with a notebook or study guide partially done? Next year’s study will be dedicated to these ladies. Some have been in glory for several years now. Some have just left us. Often a husband tells me that his wife died with her Digging Deep book beside her bed or recliner. But I know I cannot recall all of these ladies. Will you help me?
If you know of a sister-digger who has left us, will you message me her name, her birth and death year, if you can obtain that, and where she lived? I’d like to include as many of these ladies as I can in the dedication section of this book. It would be a big blessing if you could help. I need something like this format and the place I need to collect them is byhcontest@gmail.com. Please send only to that address. Please send by March 10th. Thanks so much in advance. Here’s the format:

What a rich support system you are to me through uplifting times and “downtrodden” days. How blessed we are that God put us in an eternally enduring kingdom. We praise our King for the blessing of fellowship one with another when we walk in the light (1 John 1:7) and for the cleansing that fits us for heaven through Him!
