That is quite helpful for me at the moment. I feel that the sands are shifting all around me at the moment, with waiting to change job and looking for somewhere new to live and some difficult relationships- things are just so turbulent. But I’m aware that God often appears in times and circumstances like these and uses them to draw me on. I’m also aware of some ‘dove-like’ moments; little things that are like a touch from Heaven- seeing something beautiful, or someone’s kindness…

Using our new regime I’ve been sitting with this passage ofr several days now and loving the experience.
Today it struck me that in preparing the way for God’s arrival, John appeared in the “wild”.
Perhaps to prepare for God’s arrival in my life and through me into the lives of those around me I need to live more in the wild where it is scary, dangerous, uncomfortable, lonely and different.
The more I seek comfort, safety, conformity and security the less straight and smooth the road for God
