Dear Bethany, Rachael & Esther,
If so many miles did not separate us from each other,
I would share these thoughts with you over a hot cup of lemon tea. Perhaps
someday we can all enjoy a tea party with each other once again, but in the
mean time I have decided to jot down some of my thoughts for you to read. I
hope you can glean from them and be both challenged and encouraged by them. So
my precious, little Sisters, here are some thoughts I want to share with you
before you venture out into the world---before you leave the warmth and safety
of home---and before you set out on your own journey to be a light in the
darkness (not saying that you are not already shining lights for Jesus right
now, because you certainly are). I have already begun my journey of venturing
out into the depths, and I still have a long ways ahead of me, but these are
some things that I have learned that I wish to pass on to the three of you. So
much sooner then we think and our journey on this earth will be over and we
will have made it HOME, but until then let us be completely spent and
worn out for God as we journey heavenward.
