Season's End

As my job contract expires next week, as school ends and I take my proficiency exams next month, I look back with gratefulness for the life that was.

I am thankful because if there is anything I have experienced the past nine months since my healing in February, since I got back from Elijah House last May is that when God redeems and restores, it is indeed complete, whole, and to the uttermost.

I have tasted and I have seen that the Lord is good, and just like the immortal words that Bono penned,

What once was hurt
What once was friction
What left a mark
No longer stings
Because grace makes beauty
Out of ugly things

"Grace", from the album All that You Leave Behind
