When waiting is writhing and silence groans

When we find ourselves writhing and groaning in the face of evil and grief, God is in it, giving us grace to “labor” in a way that births deliverance and life.

Waiting for hope

It feels wonderful to find yourself waiting in quiet hope and encouraging others to do the same. It feels dreadful to seek the God you thought you knew while hope continues to hide. It feels like a betrayal on God’s part, or a failure on yours, or both.

Path disappearing into woods, with this text: "So in the quietness they ready themselves. Together and alone Listening to the hush that is God They hear when it's time. Then they set out."

Minipost. Encouragement sent to me from an artist friend. It begins: "Not everyone who lingers at a crossroads hesitates in indecision."
