Many of you know that lately I have been in the desert. Depression, trials, and stress have abounded. Every now and then I think that I'm out, but I discover that it was an oasis. Those moments of rest and restoration are dear to me, but I cannot stay there. I have to go on toward the Promised Land.
I got a glimpse into the Promised Land tonight. It might be closer than I thought though I still have some terrain to travel.
Why do we spend time in the desert? We need to be prepared. We need to be trained and ready to work hard. Though we will be in the land of milk and honey, it is not a green light to lay around and be waited on. We will be working but it will be in total sync with the Spirit. The trials will be less and anything that comes our way will seem like nothing because we have been through the desert.
My desert is stress at a job that makes you want to be put away. My desert is my three children bickering non stop. My desert is my husband in full ADHD mode. My desert is my phone ringing every three minutes by the same person. My desert is other people demanding time of me. My desert is conflict. My desert is disappointment. My desert is betrayal of friends. My desert is missing a loved one. My desert is yearning for my dreams to come true and wondering if they won't.
But the Promise Land is full of hope, peace, and excitement. Promise Land, here I come!!!!
