day after day.

"I’ll be with you as you do this, day after day after day, right up to the end of the age.” This has been ringing in my ear since Tuesday of this week. I trust that is finding that place in my heart that can be occupied by loneliness. It is a reminder that I am not alone- ever. If I picture a friend telling me this over a cup of coffee, I am sure my eyes would fill with tears at the moment. But as soon as they leave, I am quite certain we would eventually forget about each other. Not intentionally, but life happens.
The cool thing about this verse found in Matthew 28:20 is that it is the words of Jesus spoken to me and you, the friend I forgot about. He is always with me. I am never alone- ever.
For me, at this moment, that is so comforting. I won't lie and tell you at other times in my life that has been terrifying. 
Having FA can be lonely. Most of the time, I feel forgotten. It is such a good reminder that He is with me day after day, right up to the end...a true friend indeed.
It is about this time when I begin to tap into the anxiety regarding the details of my next trip. I know it will all come together. It always does.

 

It's time to go back. I've missed this place.
