A post from the desert

A wise friend said recently, "Brittany, you've been wandering in the desert for a long time and it seems to me that you keep trying to return to Egypt."

CRAP.

Today the new Pastor spoke about the Israelites traveling through the desert and how God provided manna (bread) for them EVERY DAY while they wandered in the desert.

CRAP.


There is truth to what my wise friend said (don't tell him I called him that, okay?  He'll get a big head)...there is a part of me that longs to return to Egypt.

There is truth to the what the Pastor said...God is providing manna for me EVERY DAY as I wander in the desert.

So, y'all, will you pray for me to:

A.) let go of Egypt
B.) remember that God is providing
C.) be open to whatever is next?

Because my fears are definitely ruling my judgement and my eyes have been blinded but are beginning to clear and the numb lump of something that has been my heart is beginning to feel again.

This growing up stuff is hard.
