Well we are ploughing through Lent and Wow! what a time it has been to date. We have been told by many of the saints, reading their lives, that the desert can be a place of great growth. I think it was St John of the Cross who suggested it is a place a heart is taken to, be pulled closer still to God. One is stripped of any distractions for spiritual growth. Well not being known for my great love of pain, it has been the Lords wisdom alone to leave me in this place and for a very long time I may add! Not complaining just stating facts Lord... Yes this little heart has seemed to draw little comfort or consolation from anyone or indeed anything until it is now at the point honestly saying, "As God pleases as God Wills"... This morning I noticed a little butterfly, so rushing for my camera, returned to find no trace. And in the corner of the garden, not making a big statement in a very barren place came these little flowers of total beauty. If that was not enough, also I was inspired as I opened my bible to Proverbs 8. v. 22-31. Take a look it will really make the darkest place seem bright even if only for one moment in time. Thaaaaaaaaaaaaank You Lord for just being Yooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooou xxx
