    [18] Ishmael’s descendants occupied the region from Havilah to Shur, which is east of Egypt in the direction of Asshur. There they lived in open hostility toward all their relatives.

    Genesis 25:18 NLT

    Many of the exiles seem to be East of where they want to be

    Left from the right

    Go east

    Head to the right

    Head to the righteous

    Do not be left behind

    Do not be misguided in your own righteousness

    “The Great West”

    Is the human conquest to conquer and control

    Illusion

    Heading west is actually heading backwards on timeline

    Irony

    Evolving tech is taking many farther away from God and making our own golden calf

    Imagery

    Head home

  • Wild at heart

    By John Eldredge

    Spoke to me and aligned with my history

    Sent BflyMary

    Just had a Godwink… 🔗 moment: Wild at Heart book is exactly what I need. I stopped at the part that I understood I was missing a lot of what a boy needed growing up with women and not tested much. Developed “why try” mentality. Weakened me so much thru out life, but now thru Christ everything has changed for me.

    Closed the notebook and book. Looked at the verse of the day… Romans 5:3-4 Rejoice for problems and trials to build character for salvation….. God so Good

    Word of God vs current reality

    Space of tension in the between

    Qvh

    Existing in faith

    Be bold to pray in faith

    Faith is being certain in the unknown

    Living in the space of tension

    Aka space of faith

    So used to dropping the other end of the rope

    Everyone has dropped a bit of faith in truth

    Everyone has dropped it for someone else

    Holding firm in two realities

    Stability … Abram GEN 15:6 is stable in faith in God

    Gen 12 to 15 is 14 years

    25 years of stable faith before the promise was fulfilled to have a child

    Abram waited 16 years after Ishmael for Isaac

    Sarai offered Abram the apple of control

    Abram chose to control the situation

    God does not shame or abandon Abram

    Still blesses Ishmael

    Still fulfills God’s original promise for Isaac

    Not perfect endurance

    Not perfection

    Return to trust

    Allow God to restore my dropping of the rope

    God give me strength to endure the tension I tried to get out of

    This is biblical faith

    Control is trying to resolve tension on your own

    Faith is allowing tension to resolve in trusting God

    When waiting feels unbearable

    We give up faith for control

    Without faith, it is impossible to please God

    Help me with my unbelief
