"Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past.
See, I am doing a new thing!
Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the desert and streams in the wasteland.
The wild animals honor me, the jackals and the owls, because I provide water in the desert and streams in the wasteland, to give drink to my people, my chosen, the people I formed for myself, that they may proclaim my praise."
//Isaiah 43: 18-21 (NIV)
Just when you think you know it all, He never fails to surprise you. I never fail to be amazed by the hearts of women. That we carry so many burdens on our shoulders, bury so much of our pain and hurt, have so many needs that fail to be met. And over the weekend, I saw so many old wounds resurfaced, so many tears shed, so many of these hurts ministered to. The courage, honesty and hunger of these women really moved me deeply.
And above all, I'm so glad that I took the time off to do business with Him. That I laid down all that I needed to at the altar, that I allowed the grief and the hurt to be surfaced and healed, and that I'm ready to move beyond where I am right now. There must be more than this, more than everything I've seen and known thus far, and I'm ready to go further than this.
