My friend Bob, when listening to my news of Isabel, managing her freshman semester marvelously well, emerging, said 'update your blog'. And I realized that this was a sort of annunciation; words in the midst of thousands of distractions and confusion that are essential and important. I've thought this through over the past 10 days and finally am here.
Isabel's annunciation came several weeks ago in the midst of a highly charged and awkward social entanglement. She said: I am not lost. I have a vision and I am pursuing it. At 19 I was lost, and purely by grace, emerged a decade later. 30 years hence - purely by grace - I am able to hear my daughter state her vision. That is the redemption. My own grasping - a weakness for pessimism has not dampened Isabel's ability to identify her future.
Home again in 7 days.
