A shoot will come up from the stump of Jesse; from his roots a Branch will bear fruit. The Spirit of the Lord will rest on him—the Spirit of wisdom and of understanding, the Spirit of counsel and of might, the Spirit of the knowledge and fear of the Lord—and he will delight in the fear of the Lord. (Isaiah 11:1-3, NIV)

First Sunday of Advent -December 1, 2024
The people walking in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of deep darkness a light has dawned... For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. (Isaiah 9:2, 6-7, NIV)

An Unexpected Journey
This story happened seven years ago, and as I recall, it was quite apparent that it was not the time to make a major life change. In fact, I really have no idea if it will ever happen at this point. But the thing I have learned, as the years have gone by, is that there does not always need to be a physical change to bring contentment and peace. I believe more often it is a heart change that brings contentment ... an attitude adjustment ... and an acceptance of what is, rather than what we wish it could be.
