Yes,...Oh, I think those are both good observations. Yes, sometimes I "hibernate," and sometimes I "hide." I think the problem commences when I hide. :) <BR/><BR/>Yes, I am probably just under the soil right now. Sometimes I feel like a tender, green (quickly sprouting) shoot though. But I do trust my Gardener. :)<BR/><BR/>Yes, I pray for YOU, Wendy! (And others.) Hope everything is okay!<BR/><BR/>Hey, let me know when you have an answer to my question, k?AFamousStatuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08037724751565377793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25889628.post-1156663730325394682006-08-27T00:28:00.000-07:002006-08-27T00:28:00.000-07:00Personally I think there is a reason bears hiberna...Personally I think there is a reason bears hibernate in caves, and that its not a bad thing at all, nor is it for bad us to be "in our caves" when we need hibernation either, real healing can happen there. <BR/><BR/>I guess the thing though is that bears are only there in the winter--in spring they are out in the sun. And we need that balance too. <BR/><BR/>I guess I see us as like plants, at first fully underground (cave-d), and then later opening to the world above ground. But a plant even then still keeps its roots in that soil/cave even as its leaves open longfully to the sun. We need both, that curling in and opening up. And God is there in both places. Kind of like He is in both our "going ins and coming outs".<BR/><BR/>Maybe you are not in a wasteland, just merely under the soil. I love what you said about "I choose to trust that my "Gardener" knows what He is doing".<BR/><BR/>Its such a gift that you pray for people even in "blog world" here. I'll have to think about that question at the end, its likely a blind spot for me. <BR/><BR/>So nice to see you posting again Liberty : )wendybirdehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01937771656490357049noreply@blogger.com
