Dear Father,
Thank You for the many wonderful, heart-warming assignments You’ve given me lately. Thank You for Austin’s selfless dedication to helping the people in Haiti. Thank You for letting me witness joyful reunions. Thank You for giving me the chance to help people take better care of themselves before it’s too late… even if Laja did think I made for a problematic cardiologist. Thank You for this past week. Being able to help reunite a family before it was too late was a real joy. I pray they make the most of the time they have together. And for the assignments that were difficult… thank You for welcoming them Home to Your love. And thank You for being with me and for giving me people to help make those memories a little easier to bear.
Being able to spend Valentine’s week in Dyeland was very special to me. I always enjoy hearing about what people love, what they’re passionate about. And this time… this time You pushed me to express what’s in my heart. You know I’ve never been very good at that. I’ll admit that I wasn’t thrilled about it. But I know You were right.
Now I’m praying that You’ll help me know when the right time is to change. You know it’s what I want. But I want it to be on Your terms. So, please, lead me, Father. You brought us together, help me to know when I need to do what I need to do to keep us together.
Amen.
Love,
Andrew
