Yesterday was the end of an era. Bonnie finally finished working, perhaps never to have to work again. We both quit working at Legacy. It has been a couple of years at Legacy and three for Bonnie working. Things are changing, and will continue to change. Many changes coming into our lives.
A time ago, I met a young lady named Wendy. She has an illness that will end up taking her life. She is in pain much of the time, and has been almost all her life. Often she writes her INSIGHTS and sends them out to many people.
As I have been privileged to be one of those people, I am amazed at her wisdom, her knowledge of Spiritual things, and the insights into Eternal Principles. She just wrote me congratulating me on our upcoming mission. She commented that she was excited about finding out where we shall be called to serve.
Then she expressed her vision that she is also anxiously awaiting her "call." She knows that she has a mission to serve in the post mortal existence. I remember in one conference talk, death is like walking into a neighboring room. Well, Wendy will one day enter that room and start her mission there.
She commented that she will not be able to report her mission by way of blog to her loved ones, but she will be active, serving, loving, etc. She laments her leaving on that mission, leaving so many loved ones who have helped her, loved her, supported her and been inspired by her. She is ready to serve in another "room." Her call to service will be just as important, or more so, than our call. She will be serving Father and His Son, building up the Kingdom, furthering the work.
In her time in this mortality, she has applied herself to understanding the gospel. I heard her talk at a funeral a while ago, and I was totally amazed at her comprehension of the details, the mysteries, the workings of the Spirit. I have been amazed at her understanding of Spiritual things as she has shared her insights.
Since God is no respecter of persons, He will grant unto each of us the same knowledge, IF we apply our time and our study to it as Wendy has. Since few of us do, that makes Wendy a very unique daughter of our Father. She has influenced many people, and especially me in her shared thoughts and testimony.
As Wendy and Bon and I await our call, we will be sent to another location. We will serve with our all our time, testimony, talents, and dedication. We will feel joy, contentment, inspiration, and companionship with our Savior. Bonnie and I shall have the privilege of communing with our beloved fellow mortals. Wendy shall serve with all her time, testimony, talents and dedicaton. She will have the opportunity of communing with those who will greet her there in that specific "room." She won't share with mortal being except through Divine Blogs.
I would propose that though she worries about reporting her mission to her parents and others she loves, I would suggest that she will be able to do so through the Holy Ghost, using inspiration, dreams, feelings, and tender touches, and spirit to spirit. Those who know and love Wendy (To know her is to love her) will feel of her spirit since we are only a room apart. Perhaps there is a Spiritual Blog she will use, maybe even create one?
As you have wished us well dear Wendy, we wish you well on your upcoming mission. Our learning patience, our waiting, and our faith challenges are very similar, yours and ours. The nice comfort is knowing that Father knows us, loves us, and is in charge of our upcoming call to serve, one here, one in the next room. Thank you Wendy.
