🌾MESETA🌾- “The Spanish Desert”

Jesus did forty days in the desert. I’ll only have about 13 total (eight before my brothers relieve me!). There must be something I have yet to experience about boiling everything down to utter simplicity. I honestly do not know if I’ve ever experienced such simplicity, let alone such an extended time of solitude. The landscape doesn’t change much at all over these next few days. I wonder how my body and mind will take the sparseness. I’m sort of looking forward to what God reveals to me during this time. And I’m also sort of dreading it.

Many people have suggested this time may be good for me. I’m sure it will be. But as I continue to reveal to myself, I love community. I’m sure there will be people along the way I’ll meet but generally speaking I’ll be on my own.

I figured I’d punctuate this moment with something a bit physically drastic, and sparse - a clean shaven face! 😳 I haven’t really been clean shaven since before Conor was born with the exception of a week during Covid.

I’ll be looking forward to hearing Conor, Riley’s, and Devon’s reaction. 🤭 I think I may have “shaved off” a decade or so with the beard. 🙂‍↔️ Czytaj więcej
