A gift unexpected, unwanted and unlikely:
I have avoided this post like the plague. See my unexpected, unwanted and unlikely means saying good-bye. There is a family in my life that has meant more than words can ever say. They have wept with me, they have prayed with me and they have admitted that they don't understand why I am enduring what I am. They have been "real" with me and it isn't often that people inside the body of Christ are able to do that. It is sad to see them go, but what I know is that God has called them into ministry for a specific purpose. I know God kept them at our church for as long as He did to help me navigate this journey- to gain my footing in Christ and to learn to lean upon Him alone. My heart is beyond heavy at watching them leave but it is beyond joyous to know they have the courage to answer the call. God will continue to provide me with mentors to help me as I continue to figure out life and learn more about His great gift of grace, but it is unlikely that anyone will ever replace the love, and respect this family has given me.
