Well another Sabbath. We are going today to Bonnie's brother's farewell, even through we don't have farewells any more. But we are going to his meeting this morning. Wonderful. Only 50 days until we leave life as we know it and adjust to life as a missionary couple. My son called yesterday and asked if he could "use" my binoculars while we were gone. I know we won't have room for them, and I know that we probably wouldn't need them. It is starting. My kids are starting to question what we don't need as missionaries and they are starting the "grab fest" to see what they can "use" while we are gone.
That gives me a smile. That is OK with me, for I am leaving normal life, and who knows if we will ever return to "normal" life again.
Yesterday on our trip to OUR sacred place to talk with Father, on our way up or back we discussed some of the trials, challenges I have been given the last few years. They are circumstances that have taught me lessons, ultimately to improve me, perfect me. It is a time when I need to ponder, think and analyze the lessons I am learning through it all. They are difficult lessons, and I have struggled with them, but all is well, I am "seeing" them now and I am committed to learn from them, be better and use the lessons I am gleaning.
I pondered this morning about the many, many miracles that have happened in put us in this position. Father wants Senior Missionaries, and there have certainly been many miracles that have put us here. If it were up to us, we would never be going away to serve as missionaries, but it not up to us, and Father is in charge of my live, Bonnie's life and even you the reader's life, for his is indeed Father.
