The title is inspired by the story of Hagar and Ishmael's exile into the desert. Sara banished Hagar after the birth of Isaac, the child of Abraham and Sara.
Hagar and Ishmael found refuge by a desert spring. There, an angel of the Lord came to Hagar and encouraged her.
Deserts are beautiful, but dangerous and wild places. Like Hagar, sometimes we are forcibly exiled into them. Sometimes, we choose them as a refuge as we cannot stay where we were.
They can also be places of spiritual transformation. If you go into one, let it transform you and teach you wisdom, growth and maturity.
For many people have found themselves in a desert. Some are forcibly exiled by their spiritual community. Others seek refuge from their spiritual community.
This blog is dedicated to those people, whether they currently find themselves in a spiritual desert, or have been transformed by one.
