A sign

When Joshua and the Israelites cross the Jordan River into Canaan, they are given a phenomenal sign:

Joshua 3:14-17
The Israelites packed up and left camp. The priests carrying the chest walked in front,  until they came to the Jordan River. The water in the river had risen over its banks, as it often does in springtime. But as soon as the feet of the priests touched the water,  the river stopped flowing, and the water started piling up at the town of Adam near Zarethan. No water flowed toward the Dead Sea, and the priests stood in the middle of the dry riverbed near Jericho while everyone else crossed over.  

There are times when God provides a clear sign to His people. Perhaps this has happened in your life. Perhaps it has happened as you have considered what it would mean for you to 'emerge'.

Sometimes, He doesn't. Even though we long for pink writing in the sky.

But if we are still, and we listen, if we invite His Holy Spirit to speak and mull over His Word and the things His people have said as we've shared our hearts with them; if we consider the things we are passionate about and the things we love to do, and those deep barely-whispered dreams of our hearts that God has planted there...watching as God connects the dots...we may find, after all, that sign.
