A blogging friend wrote this last week and I’m just now getting to read it…

Parable of the 10 Virgins. How appropriate for me.

When it is dark, that is not the time to ‘do your own thing.’ Stay put and wait for the Bridegroom.

And that is where I am at. After a pretty good wounding last week, the best thing to do is stay put and wait for the Bridegroom to show up.

“Time heals all wounds” is a joke. It may anesthatize the wound for a season - but it doesn’t heal it.

So now comes the hard discipline of waiting…creating space and time for the Bridegroom to heal. Without any real preconcieved ideas as to what that healing might look like.

Thanks for the prayers and please continue to do so. Time to make some space.
