I guess I’m having some separation anxiety. It’s just that 15 years of my life were lived in Puerto Rico, and I won’t be shutting up about this thing for a few weeks. At first, I was opposed to it -on account of my patria, school, friends, etc.-, but we thought about the new experience we can have on Annapolis. It’s not easy to bear leaving my comfort zone. My dad is in Seattle with my uncle -he has some bone cancer- but, thank God, he has bettered himself. Even though cancer is physical, it can also be a mental challenge. He is now used to have somebody caring for him. He’s SOOO anxious for us to be with him. Hope has given him a strength to battle… to go.
And if he has hope to see us, then I’ll give him my support. We don’t know many details yet, but one thing is certain:
You will be secure, because there is hope; you will look about you and take your rest in safety. (Job 11:18)
In you I trust, O my God. Do not let me be put to shame, nor let my enemies triumph over me. (Psalms 25:2-3)
David said about him: ” ‘I saw the Lord always before me. Because he is at my right hand, I will not be shaken. Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; my body also will live in hope, because you will not abandon me to the grave, nor will you let your Holy One see decay. (Acts 2:25-27)
I know that my Redeemer lives, and that in the end he will stand upon the earth. And after my skin has been destroyed, yet in my flesh I will see God; I myself will see him with my own eyes—I, and not another. How my heart yearns within me! (Job 19:25-27)
