A New Journey

I just finished my last assignment for the half semester (liberty has 8 week cycles or half semesters and 16 week cycles or whole semesters). I petered out at the end. I worked at Walter Reed prior to the semester and it was draining. With this semester being so intense I have had little time to think and process. My wife Candy has been a great help to me.

I have been reminded by this and at many other times that I am no longer alone. This journey for me is a new one. Thoreau said he liked a wide margin to his life. Candy has helped to widen that margin. She has helped encouraged and changed me in so many ways. To give honor to whom honor is due without her I doubt I could have finished this semester.

As she has given wings to my dreams I wonder at hers. We walk together in this garden. I would not have her neglect her life for mine. I would give strength to her vision as she does to mine.

What does the world look like behind those beautiful eyes of hers? I would see it if I could. Of spiritual gifts I would rate empathy above prophecy any day.

Candy has told me only a few of her hopes. Of them are children, growth, salvation to her family and to grow in her gifting as a worship leader and to cook.

I will make Candy's goals mine. I will try to see that in her life all these giftings are lived out.
