I just returned home after six weeks away. It's wonderful to be able to spend so much time with family and friends - also nice to come to home to solitude and stillness...
I was looking through my journal at entries from the year past and found this.
"I said to the man who stood at the gate of the year, 'Give me a light that I may tread safely into the unknown.' And he replied, 'Go out into the darkness and put your hand into the hand of God. That shall be to you better than light and safer than a known way.' - Minnie Haskins - from God Knows
"I will give your life to you as a prize in all places, wherever you go." Jeremiah 45:5
We are standing at the gate of the year. Go in the hand of God.
Shalom,
Beth
p.s. Shalom means completeness, wholeness, health, peace, welfare, safety, soundness, tranquility, prosperity, perfectness, fullness, rest, harmony, the absence of agitation or discord. Now THAT is a good word!
