As we continue this journey in Michigan, I am constantly in awe of the daily reminders of God’s faithfulness I encounter whether with family or while at school. For example, this past week, a teacher reminded me of Esther 4:14, “Perhaps this is the moment for which you have been created.” Completing a long-term sub assignment is filled with challenges and her comment reminded me of God’s faithfulness. I also am reminded of it at Wednesday devotions. Sometimes, the teachers write their own devotions. I will include the second grade teacher’s devotional, another reminder, in the next post.
While singing “Great is Thy Faithfulness” at my uncle’s funeral, I found myself filled with emotion, as I reflected upon this journey. Three funerals– my mother’s, my sister’s father, and now my uncle– will always be a memory of our year in Michigan. Despite the difficulty of saying goodbye, their spiritual legacies will linger. At my mother’s funeral, her constant reminder, “Just pray about it, ” will help us during the darkest moments. At Phil’s funeral ( my sister’s father), I repeatedly heard people say how he always helped others. Yesterday, those attending my uncle’s funeral listened to the pastor describe my uncle as a life architect, someone who held the position of an architect in a company but also built a life of loving the Lord and his family.
As the journey continues, I marvel at His faithfulness as the journey continues. But why do I? He is the King of the world, the architect of all our days.
