A Modern Day Ruth did a devotional, beauty emerges from dark places:
Butterflies from cocoons
Gold from the earth
Diamonds from coal mines
Pearls from oysters in deep oceans
Flowers from seeds hidden in the dirt
Sunrises from midnight skies
You may feel like you are hidden and in a dark place, but God ...
I don't feel like I am in a dark place, but life has certainly provided much transition and I have chosen to slow down, not date, and enjoy being home.
I've also reached a milestone 1 year sabbatical.
My New Years goals are not only accomplished, I have propelled much farther ahead than the goal I had given myself.
Balanced. Focused. Ready. I know life is about to catapult in a new direction and I am refreshed, re-energized and well-prepared to enter this new season beautifully positioned.
