lessons learned (part 2)

i can't take credit for this lesson. a lady from church shared it at our women's night last friday.

she said she was meditating on "deep calling to deep" and wondering what that means and what that looks like with our walk with God. going deeper with God can seem really scary and really risky. but then she said God gave her a vision.

she saw all the storms and tornadoes we have been having in the south lately, and she saw a family in their house. and if you're in a storm or you know a storm is coming, you don't go up to your bedroom on the second floor to try to hold everything down and make sure all of your stuff is okay. No. You go into the basement--you go into the deepest part of your house where you know you and your family will be safe. then she saw the family in the basement and they were crowded around a radio--carefully listening for the report about the storm. that's where they get their information on what's -really- going on outside. while they're safe in the deep place.

that picture is so powerful to me. hearing God while i'm safe in the deep place while the storm is going on around me outside. listening carefully while things are most chaotic. resting when things seem most unsure.
