I love that you felt God in the tingling sensation, and how you interpreted the cut lily as Him revealing something. The title "A Pocket-Size Desert" is beautiful too! Are you wandering 40 years there? :)

Yes! He speaks to us through so much around us if we can tune in. In many ways, a pocket-size desert is a place deep within us where we find God and are strengthened in our identity as his beloved children. The well spring within! Thanks for reading 🫶🏼

You are so right!! Looking back on my life, I had alot of family problems that seemed to surround us and swallow us up. It was very difficult hearing HIS voice among the constant bombardment of things being thrown at us.

When I got my first round of cancer - HIS voice said “be still. I am here. Follow me”.

I was able to concentrate on me instead of trying to fix everyone else.

When my cancer came back about 4 yeats later , HE said “ step back. They will have to fill in the gaps.” I have to say this is the most freeing time of my life. I no longer take on all the responsibility - God is handling it.

I know he walks by me every day and whether its a word or a feeling I know he is there.

🙏

This is such a beautiful testimony. Through it all, you have continued to tune into God's voice in your circumstances and trusted him in the most difficult seasons. You are so right - he walks by you every single day and will never lost sight of you. He is closer than your very breath. Thank you so much for sharing this with us all ❤️
