respite... a time of transition...

Today... my current study with sisters came to a close... eleven weeks of journeying together through His Word...

The study's final thought... life is a pilgrimage... a traveling through... God preparing His people... for a better place...

Blessed are those who strength is in you,

who have set their hearts on pilgrimage.

As they pass through the Valley of [Weeping],

they make it a place of springs;

the autumn rains also cover it with pools.

They go from strength to strength,

til each appears before God in Zion.

Psalm 84:5-7

A question from the final week's study...

How has your own life seemed like a journey or a pilgrimage?

I shared my thoughts... 

Unsettled... constantly seeking a "new" normal...

One wise sister... she informed me... 

Normal is a setting found on your washing machine...

My search has come to an end... Hallelujah...!

How could there not be joy... in eating the Word... with sisters... they make it a place of springs in the Valley of Weeping...

But for now... we enter a respite... a time for me to re-define... margin in my life... trusting His Word... to lead me to a broad place...

And I walk habitually in a broad place,

For Thy precepts I have sought.

Psalm 119:45 YLT
