Good morning, Precious Family:

May the peace of the Lord be with you. I pray since the last time we talked that you have been well and in the perfect peace of the Lord. Notice that I didn’t say that your life was perfect and simple, as that is not always the case. What is always is a constant is our Lord’s peace.

I do apologize for my silence for the past month. As you know, I am a real person who always tries to be transparent and honest with you. I’m in the final stretch of completing my master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. Becoming a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) has been my dream for a very long time.

Currently, my plate is very full. I am working full-time, working on my internship site at counseling center, and taking classes this semester. Whenever I have a lot going on, it takes me a couple of weeks to get use to my new pace. Needless to say, I have been burning the candles around both ends.

What has sustained me and given me hope has been the peace and grace of the Lord. I know to run to The Rock (not Dwayne Johnson) when I begin to get weary, tired, and confused. Jesus is always there, ready to embrace, sustain, and renew me.

Scriptures of Peace

2 Thessalonians 3:16-18

New International Version

Final Greetings

¹⁶ Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times and in every way. The Lord be with all of you.

¹⁷ I, Paul, write this greeting in my own hand, which is the distinguishing mark in all my letters. This is how I write.

¹⁸ The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.
