Just a quick note of thanks to those who inquired about the lengthy radio silence. Your words of encouragement are a treasure to me. I have been very careful to keep Lightseeker a discussion area for all of us rather than a personal blog, and hence opted to temporarily suspend the weekly posts whilst I wait for some direction. Many of you know that it has been a personally defining few months on all fronts, but I did not want that to spill over into our conversation. In hind-(should I say middle?)-sight the realisation that life is predominantly not lived in calm waters has slowly unfolded, leaving me shaking my head at my own flimsy justifications. Thanks to the lady who threw the wake-up cream pie, it hit the mark, mom.
And now a word of encouragement to you :
It is going to be OK.
The storms will come, but you are never alone. Winter will bloom into springtime again, the road will be levelled ahead of you and a garden will grow from the barren desert. When you have lost a precious someone, or even something, it is an opportunity to embrace those with you on the journey and turn our hearts to Him with a new-found sense of purpose and clarity.
Love never fails…never
