As fall is quickly flying by,
I find myself drawn to the summer pictures.
*
The situation that is troubling me is not yet
resolved
but I am slowly taking steps towards
what I hope will be at least
a movement towards a more full resolution.
*
I have really appreciated your prayers and support.
*
All I need now is God's mercy that
I will be given the humility to understand
what are the next steps in my life.
*
It is so easy to deceive oneself in thinking that
they understand best what they need.
May God have mercy on us
and help us to seek Him
before any other
person,
place,
or material object,
job,
dream,
anything at all.
***
Behold, the Bridegroom comes at midnight,
And blessed is that servant whom He shall find watching,
And again, unworthy is the servant whom He shall find heedless.
Beware, therefore, O my soul, do not be weighed down with sleep,
Lest you be given up to death, and lest you be shut out of the Kingdom.
But rouse yourself...
crying:
Holy, Holy, Holy, art Thou, O our God,
Through the Theotokos have mercy on us.
Troparion of Bridegroom Matins
