# Closing a chapter
To my dear friends who were with me during my formative years, thank you for being a part of my life. It is with sorrow that I speak, that I am unable to pursue communion with you, because the One who is greater called me from your fellowship. Many times and at many ways did I attempt to reconcile, to be disappointed and reminded of the extraction process. Today as I hear of your progression through life, it is with joy, and also sadness to know the chapter of beautiful glorious days of old have come to a close. As you pursue life, dreams, careers and destinies, I pray that you do not forget the greater battle that wages on between good and evil, where dreams and material easily entangle and shadow the greater need for salvation, not only among yourselves, but also the people unseen on the news, as it had mine. I will always cherish those days in my heart, where I sought after joy and laughter in your presence, though certainly at times disappointing, but memorial nonetheless. I do certainly wish at times, i
f only I could have been labored a little later, perhaps we could then had a tighter knit, but I also perceive that it is due to my advisory nature that often brings up the need for the assumption of wisdom in your words, I have no blame for you, for we were all crafted and called differently. Today as you continue your communion, it is truly my prayer that you stay together united, because when the laughter ends and when commitment and trust is required, perhaps you will then be still united, readily able to give up for the sake of another. I cLg on to a thin Le of thread, in hopes of a glimpse of that once former glory. In the end I find myself only cLging to Christ, the anchor of my salvation.
