But, we are all coming out! There are new opportunities on the horizon, God has a plan for every one of us. None of us have come out of the last eighteen months unaffected. The answers mostly come, but there is that ‘ be still…’ part to the disciple’s journey.īut, I do know something immediately. And, if my experience of following Jesus has taught me anything it is this sometimes I have to get comfortable hanging out with the questions for quite a while. Now, none of these are questions that generally get answered within a few minutes. “Where do I go next?” What do I need to check in on within my heart?“ “ Father, how did I arrive at this moment in time?” I prayed and I asked God the questions that were so easily presenting themselves to me: They were the chapters in my daily reading plan for the day.

Deep within my heart, at 5am in the morning, a time when our hearts are often most unedited I heard “ …too much time has already been wasted!“ I felt refreshed, I felt as though I had genuinely had enough sleep, but I also had a slightly unnerving thought running through my mind. To give you a bit of context, we are an early rising household but even for me 5am is early. On the day of writing this blog I woke up at 5am.
