Every phase of our lives has a representation; a new beginning, a turning point, an end, a transition...whatever...
We are left with memories to cherish, experiences that shape our future choices and regrets that may haunt us time and again....
I remember a prayer made for me, by a friend, who has now gone on to work...
"May she remember that this is just one of the many exams that she will have to endure; and in it all, You will be with her, through and through..."
That was more than 4 years ago...
It's amazing the memories that comes to us at odd times......first it may just seem like a faint recollection of things. As if it were part of a prior thought process. But then it simply stays, refusing to leave until you start thinking a little deeper...
And then we realize these memories were 'sent'...Sent to remind of what we were then and what we are now...
Of forgotten pledges...Of dried tears....Of past prayers and yearnings of the heart...
We then know, while we have forgotten some things....He hasn't.
How wonderful are Your thoughts of me, Oh Lord? Psalm 139
