Read Exodus 3:17-22
-3:17 - When Pharaoh let the people go, God did not lead them on the road through the Philistine Country, though that was shorter...
God's economy of salvation and redemption is terribly inefficient. Efficiency is not the point.
Sometimes all this language of life and death, torn flesh and spilt blood sounds so strange to me. Foreign and unfamiliar. Phenomenal and appalling and against my better judgment.
...dying and rebirth...
...putting away and drawing out...
...forgetting and remembering...
...an exodus and a return home...
...a mourning and an exaltation...
The energy of my conflictions is such that I feel I might change states of matter. I melt, I freeze, I sublimate, I combust.
Peace.

Wow. I just read through some of your blogs and I am amazed. You have a gift for writing, I hope you truly know that. Oh, and you don't know me. I'm an used-to-be friend of a certain friend of yours.
You keep writing, and one day God will show you where you need to be. He's just taking time to throw aside the obstacles that try and hide you from the right path. You will be fine.
and maybe this time the url will work if you click on my name
which is apparently anonymous
