Impending departure.

They were calling for pre-bible study on 14th july.

14th july? The date seemed familiar. Checking back our conversation I found it, Estherminator.

But 14th july? You mean, just 3 days after I'll be at the airport, sending you off in tears?
I shut my eyes, it's nearer than I thought. The last I checked we had 21 days and now, 16. I shudder at the thought. Will God prepare me sufficiently before that day comes? I don't know, somehow I doubt so.

I don't think it's necessary for me to be spared the pain. In fact, I wonder if I'll ever learn without struggle!
It's coming and I want to treasure EVERY day.

Yes tough times are coming... but I'll remember to smell the flowers (or the flower), I trust God, I trust that nothing less than ideal will happen. I pray that I become acquainted with that ideal so I will rejoice as I see it coming.
