Ex 2:15-17; But Moses fled from the face of Pharaoh and dwelt in the land of Midian; and he sat down by a well. Now the priest of Midian had seven daughters. And they came and drew water, and they filled the troughs to water their father's flock. Then the shepherds came and drove them away; but Moses stood up and helped them, and watered their flock.
NKJV
Oh! How i admire the life of Moses and how he quickly adapted to the life around him. When from being the beloved son to the pharaoh who had everything at his disposal, he quickly becomes the lonely man in a far off land. Of TIME... because Time as much as may heal has the ability to kill, Of TIMES.... because i am certain that, appointed unto every man are particular periods of activity and habitation (No things for Just) and Of TIMING... because i believe that what we do, how we do it and when we do it are often the difference between where we are and where we desire to be..
So you have just left one struggle for your life, run away from the place you called home almost all your life and here you are in a strange place seated by a well. Isn't amazing that no matter what struggles we go through, we are always looking for a well to sit by, an oasis in the dry place of uncertainty, lack, conflict, broken relationships or even confusion ... BUT does it occur to you that no matter how refreshing this well could be, sometimes you may not be accustomed to consumption of the water there in?? So you have to adapt and be able to deal with the thirst you have had for days knowing that the return journey home isn't happening anytime soon. I came to rest and be refreshed but even as i do so, i have to adapt..... No moment is free from lessons. May my eyes be Open and my heart ready to learn.

Everyone talks about "LEAVING YOUR COMFORT ZONE" but do we really leave our comfort zones?? its one thing to know you could return and its another thing to depart knowing that your life is at risk. Its amazing though, to know that there is no happening that "JUST OCCURS".... but whenever things happen am i able to sit and watch?? maybe for a few minutes or so... Sometimes we sit not looking for the next step but maybe because we believe this could be the end of the journey... I know as you read this you could be in a place, bewildered and debilitated by your previous journey... When the days of old seem to cast brighter reflections from the past than the future you so heavily dread......... Why not find a well, and take a seat...... Wells to me are place of refreshment...... No one knows you by the well, Not many are interested in your story at the well.... We are all at the well for a different reason..... and Just like Moses, i believe at the well, a chance will soon present itself for yet another encounter with destiny....
"A crust of bread and a corner to sleep in. A minute to smile and an hour to weep in. A pint of joy to a peck of trouble, And never a laugh but the moans come double. And that is life. A crust and a corner that makes love precious. With a smile to warm and tears to refresh us, And joy seems sweeter when cares come after, And a moan is the finest of foils for laughter. And that is life." ~ Paul Laurence Dunbar
