Back to 43

Today was a good day. I wrote the letter on my first flight and cried it out. Then I received an epiphany of what Jesus meant when he said “sin no more.” To see this mystery I needed to first simply what it was he did for her. He rescued her from a situation in which not a single person in her life had her back, defended her or cared if she died. Then, I was reminded of a scripture that discusses WHY women commit adultery. In Mathew 5:32 it says every man who puts his wife away is the causes her to commit adultery. Interesting concept isn’t it? Who translated this stuff? She’s the whore and the “adulteress” after the man cheats on her and then puts her away in divorce? That doesn’t sound like justice and yet that’s the kind of ideology these people were subscribing to when they wanted to put all of their sins on one woman’s shoulders.

I’m getting a second chance at the rescue I was gifted 3 years ago and the same exact attacks are coming at me now in different form – trying to pull me back in the dirt with the mob surrounding me screaming “stone her” and Jesus was telling that woman, just as he is telling me today, “Don’t go back to that trap.” He wants the one who is set free by his hand to not look back. Just like Lot’s wife turned into a pillar of salt when she looked back at Sodom and Gomorah Jesus is telling his daughters to flee these situations that almost killed them and to never turn back to that prison again.

When I walked into my room at the 43 I saw the clock on 37 and remembered the promise. I don’t know how this promise will come to me or what awaits me in my near future but I believe it’s coming. I believe God has something so beautiful in store for me and I hope I have the faith to keep writing here everyday the events unfolding and allow his story to unfold with a love for the journey as well as the destination.

Goodnight Boise Idaho.
