Growth is a gangly and uncomfortable season – whether it's the growth of our young teenage bodies, or the growth of our souls. We cannot enter into seasons of growth without instability and volatility. In other words, growth is awkward and uncomfortable. And there's nothing we can do about that. I have been reading and loving Lisa Colón DeLay's book, The Wild Land Within. She describes the in-between seasons of growth this way: "God will always call us toward deeper, fuller lives. God beckons us toward more abundant joy and greater relief and solace." Then she goes on to say, "Healing and spiritual growth, after it happens, look and feel like peace, gracious integration of yourself, and (felt) access to love and grace." There are so many moments of our spiritual lives when growth is going to force us to experience the discomfort of the in-between. Let's explore this in this week's episode.
