YEARNING FOR CHANGEI struggled to come up with anything to say this week. Heaviness is all around us. I sit in our home in Canada on the other side of the border, and though there have been protests here it's nothing like what's happening in my home country. The borders are closed, my family and friends on the other side. A white stay at home mom sitting at her desk observing through the news and seeking to understand what it means to take cation in her own heart and home.
There is so much waiting too. Listening in my heart. Trying to be quiet enough and calm enough to do so. This is for informed action to be ready to take place. I can't say I have a lot to say at this point beyond that all of the crisis in the world is shaking things up and it's a chance to grow through so much discomfort. I'm grateful to be made so uncomfortable. This is the ground where change can occur. This week, these are image updates from the garden. I am sitting with the discomfort and pain in the world, praying for clarity on how best to help where I am, and of course, finding healing in the garden. May you have the courage to sit in the discomfort too, and rest in the Mercy that has been bestowed to us in Christ. Whatever your beliefs, this is a place of rest in this weary world, and I hope you may find your way to it.
