It’s been a week already since I last wrote. Where does the time go? I’m on furlough with no specific daily routine but I still don’t understand how the time slips away. But I’ve been able to go on long walks with the dog, Dundee. I’ve done baking with the girls of the family I’m staying with, gone to a birthday brunch, read lots and gone to the movies with 9 others! I’m grateful for being included and the time on my own. There are a lot of ups and downs, tears and laughter. Nevertheless, I’m thankful for the relationships that are growing here and for the broad place God has provided for this time of restoration.
I continue to be torn because other people I love are far away. So I’m learning how to truly entrust others to Jesus. I’m not sure why that is so hard. After all, he knows them better, is able to do all things and loves them with an everlasting love! Who is better than Jesus?! Certainly not me! But relationships are important and a treasure. I'm thankful even though torn.
