comings and goings

There are changes in the air. It started as a whisper, a soft breeze, an intuition and slowly grew into something more tangible, speaking into my ear, blowing across my face. Leaving me there alone to step out and into the heart of God.

This next Friday I leave Spain. It's not forever but its the end of an era, a season of my life that has marked me forever.

I am headed to England for a couple of months to spend some time up in Hexham. God has spoken. He has shut doors and he has opened doors. He has spoken and he has asked me to follow, to shut some doors myself.

What lies beyond I don't know. I have some thoughts and ideas but if I have learned nothing else over the last month, it's that what it says in Proverbs 16 is true, A man's heart devises his way: but the LORD directs his steps..

So it's the beginning of something new but rather than the end of what is finishing, it's the continuation of what has already begin.
