The Journey

the reading today was from psalm 84:

5 Blessed are those whose strength is in you,
In whose heart are the highways to Zion.
6 As they go through the Valley of Baca
they make it a place of springs;
The early rain also covers it with pools.
7 They go from strength to strength;
each one appears before God in Zion.

Jenny's journey was not one that we planned for or anticipated, but God was preparing us in ways that we were not aware. I was talking to some friends of ours today about the decision that Jenny and I made in May, to postpone building a new home on some property that we had bought last year.

God  knew where our road to Zion was taking us and the new house was not in His travel plans. It is like we have an omniscience GPS...This psalm talks about each of us keeping the road to Zion in our hearts, it is great to know as we have our hearts focused on going to be in the place of worship, our paths are protected and our we are provided for, as we need things. Like the rain creating the pools, which were not there before God sent the rain, but available when a drink was required, He provides many grace rest areas along the way.

Two of Jenny's sisters were able to spend some time with her this week as well as her parents being to join us for a couple of days, certainly these are just a couple of "springs" of refreshment that have made the journey more enjoyable, and reminded us of His provision.

Jenny is really feeling pretty well, no side effects to mention, a couple of naps each day is doing the trick in terms of dealing with the fatigue and she hasn't lost any weight, so all very good progress. Thank you all for your continued prayers and support!
