Haven, Refuge, and RockHarbor...

I have found myself in a very amazing place today. I have seen what I believe to be the chiasm or bookends of an amazing three year period within my life. It started with many things, but the road marker was definitely "a fun little trip to England three years ago," to attend this little conference on Time and Eternity. Someone, rather many people invested in me then as well.

It has been there all along but no one wants to acknowledge when they are going down, and rarely do people believe and trust that they are going up. [it pains me to say that I speak of myself here]

There are so many layers and levels, that go far beyond merely the place I attend on a Sunday morning. In fact, I am primarily thinking of the Church, the Bride of Christ. She has done me well, and I love her very much. There are profound relationships that have helped to shape and guide this transitional period. I treasure them all, and I anticipate their continued roles in my life.

Praise God that it will continue without end, but sometimes I am humbled to be given access to His graces that remind me of the grander story along the way.
