This past year, I lost the best friend I never had. I'm sorry, I never deserved for you to be part of my life, and so you closed your heart. I can't forget your kindness in the early years of our friendship, even if I have to fade from your memories. Perhaps you should fade from mine, too. Well, the Lord gave, and the Lord has taken away. I must trust that He has something better for the both of us.
The Lord has been merciful to me. My knee injury is much recovered. I have also adjusted from life in the military to academia. I was provided with paid employment for the first time this year. More importantly, God has saved me from backsliding, and caused me to remember His truths. God has also put words in my mouth several times, to speak the gospel graciously.
The coming year is fraught with uncertainty. I will face it with courage. I just pray for wisdom, to persevere when I should, and to willingly give up things the Lord desires to take from my life. I will experience hard work, and time is likely to seem in short supply. May the joy of the Lord be my strength. I wish for my desires to be purged from evil, so that I may appreciate what is fun, laughter, peace, and joy.
Love and life still goes on.
