Where do you go to be made well? Where do you go to breathe deeply, listen for Gods voice and know Gods peace? I want to be whole- but it doesnt just magically happen. I want to heal, grow, wait, pause, listen, linger, learn... but it takes some sort of effort on my part. A holy separation from my schedule, responsibilities, even family. A sacred time. I used to think this could only happen with a Bible in hand, wrestling over scripture verses. But the older I get, the more I am learning to experience holy pauses- time set a part as such- in a myriad of ways. Lately, this certain path on this certain hiking trail is exactly where I wander to be still and soak in Gods glory. I am ever reminded that holy separation- if even for five minutes- is the gateway towards being made well. And I am grateful for this one certain trail and this one certain momma deer and her baby... and the leaves, wind, changing colors and space to sit in silence. I am reminded that sometimes showing up is the hardest part. But once Im there- in the midst of the sacred pauses- I cant help but be made new, little by little.
