Wilderness

There are and will be many times in our lives when we feel like we are in the wilderness. We feel lost and confused and unsure of what God is trying to teach us. Daniel and I both have felt like we have had wilderness experiences over the past year from losing our baby to being unsure of how to financially fund our adoption and so forth. Deuteronomy 8:2-6 talks about how God led the Israelites through the desert for 40 years, supplying them with food, not allowing their clothes to wear down and feet to swell. He provided for them, he was with them and he took care of them. If you haven't experienced the wilderness yet then you will...it's inevitable. You can't run from you, you can't hide, you have to embrace it. Every moment of it and open your hearts to what the Lord is trying to teach you during it. God never promised being a Christian was easy but He does promise to never leave us. Next time you walk through the wilderness remember that you are not alone. The Lord your God is there with you.

Hosea 2:14 Therefore I am going to allure her; I will lead her into the desert and speak tenderly to her
