I am a link in a chain, a bond of connection between persons. He has not created me for naught. I shall do good; I shall do his work. I shall be an angel of peace, a preacher of truth in my own place while not intending it-if I do but keep his commandments.
Therefore I will trust Him. Whatever, wherever I am. I can never be thrown away. If I am in sickness, my sickness may serve Him: in perplexity, my perplexity may serve Him. He does nothing in vain. He knows what He is about. He may take away my friends; he may throw me among strangers. He may make me feel desolate, make my spirits sink, hide my future from me-still He knows what He is about.

Hi Vicky, you might not remember, I was at CFS with you..all those years ago! I'm good friends with Joy.. Anyway, I was VERY excited to see that you're in Ecuador?! And even more excited to see you're in Santo Domingo!? I was there a few years back living at Orphaids? Don't know if you know it.. and have been aching to go back ever since! Have submitted to your emails and look forward to hearing what else you get up to! Some of the kids over there are very close to my heart, you'll probably meet some of them! Good luck and God Bless!
ReplyDeleteOoh Vicky, this made me cry - good tears though - what a reminder, what an assurance!
