Thoughts on Leaving

As I begin my farewells again I cannot shake these questions:

• Do I long for God as much as I long for the people I painfully miss?
• Do I believe He loves me as much as I know they do?

Which leads me to a prayer I read a few years ago. I'm not sure who wrote it...

"O God, I have tasted Thy goodness and it has both satisfied me and made me thirsty for more. I am painfully conscious of my need of further grace. I am ahsamed of my lack of desire. O God, the Triune God, I want to want Thee; I long to be filled with longing; I thirst to be made more thirsty still. Show me Thy glory, I pray Thee, that so I may know Thee indeed. Begin in mercy a new work of love within me. Say to my soul, 'Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away." Then give me grace to rise and follow Thee up from this misty lowland where I have wandered so long. In Jesus' Name, Amen."

My new departure date is May 6th and I'll reach Jamaican shores in the afternoon on the 7th.

Please look under Prayer Requests for new prayer points.

Thank you so much for all your amazing support and encouragement. You are a blessing to me.
