A Blazing Summer

8/20/2016

 
This I recall to my mind,
​therefore I have hope.
Lamentations 3:21


It has been a hot summer with what I believe has been record setting temperatures, plus horrendous levels of humidity...
At times, it's been hard to breathe. Most days I stay soaked in sweat even when simply sitting still on my bunk. I'm counting the days until fall.

Today, however, I was able to write several letters, including two to friends in Great Britain. I am thankful
to God for those who genuinely care about me, who love and accept me as a fellow follower of the Lord, and not as some kind of oddity. God, I know, has brought me very far since the days of my dark past.

By God's grace, I am able to continue forward with my life. Frankly, I have come too far to ever turn back, and I would never want to. Yes, I have my days and seasons of loneliness, and many regrets, too. But as the Scripture declares, the Lord's mercies are made new every morning. This is why that even in the difficult times, I always have my hope and trust in Him.

D.B.


Lamentations 3:21-26
