Adela is Leaving part 2

By Mike and Dottie Clark May 30, 2026 3 Min Read

Adela is a jewel.

I wrote this paragraph yesterday but it did not post correctly. Next Friday we will have a vigilia which is a time where each dorm is providing songs, dances, skits, preaching and other activities to worship the Lord.

Adela is leaving and I am torn between her leaving and the place she has had in our hearts these last 10 years. She and Dottie have such a strong bond. She is so special and I am so happy for her as she begins this next phase of her life

I believe my high blood pressure is directly tied to the stress I have with Adela leaving. Josue and Estela are taking me to the appointments.

My EKG showed that it was normal so thank the Lord. This morning I will see the cardiologist. My blood pressure is still off the charts.

I John 4.18 says “There is no fear in love. Perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.”

I admit that I am struggling with a specific fear and to handle it I must draw closer to God. Please pray that I will do that.

Isaiah 53:11 says, “He shall see of the travail of his soul and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my RIGHTEOUS SERVANT justify many; for He shall bear their iniquities.” The theme of service and servitude runs throughout the scriptures.

Jesus was the Holy and Righteous One whom the Father sent on a mission of redemption for the entire world. Jesus identified Himself as the Suffering Son of God sent on a mission to earth for us. His disciples fought with each as to who would be sit in a place of honor. Mark 10: 44-45 says they had no idea that to be first you had to suffer.
