May you find refreshment, shalom, strength, and blessing so that you might reorder you life. As your body rests, may your spirit and mind receive insight and joy during you time away. Praying.

Hello Sarah - I, like most of your readers, are glad that you were honest enough to ‘take a break’ - and hopefully ‘recharge’. We will certainly welcome you back when the time is right for you.

Over the months you have posted many incredible images from space. Images of towering beauty and power. We have been blessed by these glimpses of the Cosmos.

With my recent email, I have attached a very different image. It is one that has encouraged and lifted me up over the years - esp. when I feel the way that you have expressed….physical & spiritual “exhaustion”.

In a typical picture like this we might expect the Cross to be found on the highest mountain peak - showing the great triumph of Christ. However, if you look carefully, you will find the Cross, in the valley, along the road, just when we realize the great wall of mountain that lies ahead of us. That turns out to be where I need Christ most - when the final climb is just beginning - where it would be so easy to turn back.

Sarah, I pray that you will be encouraged and blessed for the ‘climb’ ahead in this life, in this broken world. - William

Rest easy and let God do His will. He hears your prayers and knows what you need. As you know, patience is very difficult for the flesh. My prayers for you and your family.

That is an extremely healthy decision, one that is not easily made for sure. Well done and as others have shared, may you sense His peace and presence and His wisdom and discernment as you gather strength.
