Compass

Monday in the Fourth Week of Lent

Your love, O Lord, for ever will I sing;
form age to age my mouth will proclaim your faithfulness
Psalm 89:1

After a week of…how to describe it?..it is clear to me that I am now in a very different place. The learning curve has been more like a roller coaster with steep ascents and stomach-clenching falls. Already I walk the way differently. I have adopted new trail skills; I have adjusted my stance; I have redefined how I measure progress through this time.

This Lenten landscape is unlike anything I have ever encountered. The tumult, uncertainty, and stress of previous journeys cannot compare. And equally, the generosity, compassion, and resources for resilience abound in greater measure.

As I stumble along, the place I wander remains within the compass of God’s love, whose faithfulness stands firm—regardless.
