"...I search and ponder where God is leading and why. As I am with God in the wilderness I cannot help but wonder why things are not more comfortable. Why must there be confusionand turmoil upon my return. Why must I be in a world where others lie, gossip, and are deceitful and mean. The answer always comes, "They were that way to my Son". Upon my return I start to miss the place in the wilderness where I can be alone with One who loves and who is not uniterested. Upon my return I start to yearn for the next time that I am alone with God. I look forward to the uncharted territory that allows me time that I am alone with God. I look forward to the uncharted territory that allows me the time and quiet to consider my action and reactions to all that is petty and selfish. the time by the river does not cure the wounds of sin and division, it does not stop the abusive people from harming others, but it does provide the time with God to test my resolve in a controlled space where I cannot succumb to the temptation in anger or resentment. Ahhh, I get it, just like Jesus' time in the wilderness. So, to all of those who are surrounded by abusive and vicious people who are out to scourge and crucify. Go find a place in the wilderness to be alone with God. Find a time and a place to be able to process. You may not be able to stop the madness or redirect the sinner, but you will find comfort in your uncharted territory with God."
