Sometimes crying is just feeling lost and helpless, like God is waaaay over there somewhere, and you’re waaaay over here. Lots of feelings will surface but they are not the guide – the spirit is.

Crossing over is difficult, dry, alone and confusing, but God is preparing to bring you across, even if you wail like a spiritual baby. While there is movement forward, no place is going to be okay for a long time. Home isn’t where you want to be, work isn’t where you want to be, social engagement is not where you want to be. There’s no place on earth to really want to be.

The long, slow process of surrender brings you into your eternal home. The need to belong is where you want to be to finally be satisfied.
