The fact that moving is close to done is not only an end to a period in my life, in which 15 years God spent in the making. It is the beginning of a whole new one, in which His grace will be experienced to the evermore.
Joseph knew what he was talking about in his last words before his death:
Then Joseph said to his brothers, “I am about to die. But God will surely come to your aid and take you up out of this land to the land he promised on oath to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.” (Genesis 50:24)
With my father reaching here, our days are counted, and we are still to live a normal life. I will go to sleep, minding that this not only one day that has passed: it’s another day that is buried forever in time. I will wake up tomorrow (or so I will pray to the Lord) to see something different, to make my world shine unparalleled as I did (or didn’t!) today. In any way, God will come to my aid, be it hurricanes, tornados, gay porn troubles, scandals, lies, sins, aids or more, nothing will ever take me away from the Rock in which I live my life, Jesus Christ.
Lord, You know more about my future. As I embark on a whole new journey, I am pleased to share this with my friends here. Bless them, as you have blessed my family to this time, as You have done with everyone for the ages. Forgive all my sins and misdemeanors, as so for my enemies and friends. Let us know Your presence in every way of life, and don’t let us stray away from You. Thank You for these years in my beautiful land. Will we return? You’ll know, and You’ll come for us. In Your name is everything, according to Your will… AMEN.
Que Dios les bendiga, may God bless you,
José E.
