Yesterday concluded the graduation exercises for the institution where I teach. It was a bittersweet day for me. More bitter than sweet, actually. I hate saying goodbye to those whom I have let into my heart. I hate change and the uncertainty it brings. But these will be my constant companions and I must learn to lean hard upon the Lord through those dark moments.
Today my summer begins. I wonder to myself what yours may hold. Perhaps you find yourself at a crossroads, with decisions to be made, travel to be undertaken, employment to be secured. My prayers go with you, and I wish I knew your particular burdens so that I might pray more specifically. Ever since someone accidentally dropped a dime in my car, every time I run across a dime, I put it in my "dime jar" and whisper a prayer for you. Someday, dear one, I will give you this jar.
On a happier note, I ran across a bookstore
closeout sale, and walked out with quite the loot! My stack of summer
reading material is coming together. I desire for this summer to be a
much-needed time of refocusing on spiritual priorities. I so easily
become distracted by creature comforts! And yet I can't shake the feeling that the Lord has shown me a glimpse of who you might be ... only to tear you away from me as if to tease, taunt, test me (us?). (O Father, give me contentment, peace, joy, hope, wisdom, strength, and give the same to my unknown dearest!)
Keep your chin up, sweetheart. God is working yet.
All my love,
Me
