Fifteen years. I never expected to still be in this place for so long. Remember the words Rest, Rebuild, Wait from 2019. The wait seems unending.
Faith and trust have taken a pounding. The voice of God has been silent for a long time for me. I keep waiting for Gods direction. I remember the time when God was silent with the Israelites for 400 years before Jesus arrived. Abraham waited 13 years before God spoke to him again after the birth of Ishmael.
Recently, there is a stirring in my heart. There is still no direction but I continue to wait on God’s plan; revisiting the stories of faith and trust from the past and pressing forward toward whatever God’s direction will entail.
