Greetings Dear Reader,
A few of you have expressed concern over this
conversation. First let me express my
gratitude for your kindness, compassion, and prayer. I want to assure you that even when memories
hurt that I move on in faith.
One of the bedrock reasons for this writing is to address
the things in my thoughts relative to my journey. When old loss and pain attempt to reassert
their grip on me I must think and often write my way through the pain. Doing so reminds me of who I am and whose I
am.
There is no guarantee that the journey will not have
difficult moments. How I work through
these moments determines how I also deal with the day. If I do not deal with my feelings honestly
then it will infect my dealings with those around me. This is not allowed.
The other benefit of working through this in this venue is
that it may aid you Dear Reader. I share
my joy and pain so that perhaps you can find solace, hope, or merely a fellow
traveler for a space. I hate being alone
and if honesty yields a moment of comfort for you then it is worth it.
Again I thank you for your kindness Dear Reader. May the Father richly bless you for it. I hope this yields further understanding for
you. The invitation to follow Christ is
not one to always be happy and satisfied.
It is one to carry the cross in hope.
It is the opportunity to journey home with assurance that no matter the
hazards along the way the destination is worth the walk.
Wishing you joy in the journey,
Aramis Thorn
Mat 13:52 So Jesus said to them, "That is why every writer
who has become a disciple of Christ’s rule of the universe is like a home
owner. He liberally hands out new and old things from his great treasure
store.”
