Ahoy for the manna...Amba

I was at work today and it was odd. First of all I had at least 20 different people tell me that they loved my new hair cut (when I haven't had my hair cut and have had my hair the same way for quite some time...) and secondly that I heard an incredible story from a seeminly ordinary woman. She had just moved here from up north because in Feb her 16yo daughter was murdered and was dealing with court! It was the most fascinating/horrifying story I've heard in a long time and I wouldn't even know how to share it with you if I tried. This woman has gone through SOOO much and is under so many meds and counselling. I couldn't offer her anything but Jesus but she wasn't there yet....

I love God. I can love the wilderness at times. But I can't imagine the desert without manna.

"The full acting out of the self's surrender to God therefore demands pain: this action, to be perfect, must be done from the pure will to obey, in the absence, or in the teeth, of inclination".
-C.S. Lewis
