Dear God,

Some things are just hard, really hard.  We can wonder how they got that way or we can figure we are just being picked on.  We can get angry, sad or just distressed.  However, there truly is value in what happens and how we handle it.

Right now I am just sad and actually somewhat relieved.  I have had to do a hard thing, say goodbye and begin a new trek.  It was not what I wanted to do, still don't like doing but know it is what I need to do.

I know I want to handle it your way, to trust you to help me do what is right and good, to be honest and truthful but also grace-filled.  Sometimes I do a lousy job of it.  Sometimes okay.  But now I just want to do it the way you want me to handle it.

Dear God,
thank you
for your kindness.
Thank you
for your challenge
and correction.
Thank you
for lessons
always waiting
to be learned.

Love, Andrea
