I Pray that I Can be the best sister and friend that I can be for you.
I pray that my Brothers and Sisters can help me be my best for God.
God has moved me from Cleveland to Cincinnati.
I don’t understand why. But I’m willing to find out.
One thing that I can say: This is a New Journey for me,
A journey that I have to take, that no one can take for me.
As you do not know the path of the wind, or how the body is formed in a mother’s womb,
so you can not understand the work of God, the Maker of All things.a
For His Light makes everything visible.
This is why it is said: Wake up, o Sleeper, rise from the dead and
Christ will shine on you. Be very careful, then, how you live –
not as unwise, but as wise, making the most of every opportunity,
because the days are evil.b
That is why it is said, Listen to my instruction and be wise, do not ignore it.
Blessed is the man who listens to me, watching daily at my door, waiting at my doorway.
But whoever fails to find me harms himself, All who hate me love death.c
All of us who are mature should take such a view of things.
And if on some point you think differently,
that too God will make clear to you.
What you heard from me, keep as the pattern of sound teaching,
with faith and love in Christ Jesus.
With Love in Christ,
Nicky Bridges
