Summer humble

Lately we have been learning about Moses parting the Red Sea and I’m reminded about what I’m waiting for God to part in my journey of deep waters.

It makes it more real what the Israelites not only were feeling but were experiencing in the waiting.

The asking to go back to Egypt just for a temporary moment of relief

Reminiscing on what we held onto in the mist of bondage

Suppressed but still blessed

Stressed but still relieved

Burdened but not broken

Hopeful

While broken

We had potential in the middle of

God sent Moses to help the Israelites

Bless them

Guide them

But he only parted the sea once

He delivered them from the hands of the enemy After they denied, idolized and criticized the very one who saved them

While living in the shelter many times I asked God why he parted the Red Sea

Delivered me

To suffer

Sacrifice

And isolation

I asked if only for a moment to go back to the drama that lead me here just so I could

Feel some relief

I get it

I got some changing to do

I have healing to do

I’m called to be great but

After you wiped the enemies away it left me

Vulnerable

Alone

I’m in a room with just me and you

I’m afraid to make the wrong move

Now I’m worried to make a move

Left or right could literally be

The death of me

Be still and know that I am God

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me

From the valley to victory

Thank you for the gift to write cause it’s all that I can do.

I’m writing out to the God who has saved and reminds me that he will keep saving me

Just like he did to Moses and his people

Then he promised that He would leave us or forsake us

Because the same God that parted the Red Sea died on the cross for me to be free

In Jesus name

This thorn in my side isn’t easy but his grace is sufficient

Have faith

The storm is only the beginning
