Don’t Need Answers, Just Rest
21 October 2023
After months and months of dealing with an exasperating and tricky local contractor who took advantage of my husband’s kindness, I finally put a stop to it and handed the remaining works at the beach house to my handyman from Singapore.
I am tired, but relieved and happy.
As my ferry departs from the island of Batam, Indonesia, I looked at a devotional from the Refresh app. A statement by the writer caught my eye:
“I Didn’t Have the Answer, but I Did Have the Victory!
And I hear V softly whisper:
You don’t need answers, you just rest.
Yes Lord, thank you for this beautiful evening ride home together. I am thankful for this moment of restfulness.
Relaxed and happy, I admire the beauty of God’s beautiful creation – the sea, the white ripples of water, the blue sky and the clouds.
Ahh… the clouds. I have always loved clouds since my teens. I used to just lie down on the grass or at the stadium bench, to look at clouds. The world up there would feel so huge. Enraptured by its beauty, all my teenage angst would become minute and insignificant and would melt away.
Soar Again
Now doesn’t it look like a majestic eagle up in this beautiful blue sky?

And V replied:
“After this season of self-imposed exile,
You will fly on wings like eagles.
You will run and not grow weary
You will walk and not faint.”
Oh, thank you Lord, but this also means I have to run again? I offered a weak smile. I thought the days of running with the horses are done.
He laughed softly, and said:
“But you will soar like an eagle!”
And once again, I am transported to the days when I looked at clouds, and even while I am still plodding on to get everything in order and to clear this overflowing plate of responsibilities, I feel my strength and confidence return.
Yes Lord, I look forward to riding with you on your condor.
I will soar again. Very soon. ☺
