Ancient Paths and Eternal Destinations

I’ll never forget the first time Stacy, Krista and I gathered to talk about “The Intersection.” At the beginning, we didn’t even have a name for the burning desire growing within. Like expecting a first baby, we had all this excitement but very little know-how to plan for its arrival. We didn’t have a clue — really and truly. All we knew is (1) We deeply loved the Word of God, and (2) We desired to connect with other women, like us, who struggled to live it out.

Thus the birth of The Intersection.

The longer I live, the more I recognize the temporary nature of things. What is news one day becomes history the next. What we birth one day eventually graduates and moves on to college. Time always moves forward, and eventually a day comes when we have to let go of those things we once held dear.

This is where we find ourselves today with The Intersection. What a joy it’s been to walk with you! How much I’ve loved meeting you here, sharing a little bit of life and faith together! These intersections we’ve made, these moments in time when we’ve chosen to allow our separate stories to meet, will not be wasted. In fact, I believe they’ve become part of the imprint of Eternity, stories we’ll re-read and reminisce about when we’re sharing Heaven’s real estate.

Until then, don’t forget the heart of the message of the Intersection. Within the text of God’s word lies ancient paths to help us navigate today. It’s not outdated or obsolete. No matter how much time passes, God’s word is “alive and active,” able to encourage, equip, inspire, convict and lead you through the numbered day of your life.

Hang on to it as if your next breath depends on it. Who knows — it just might!

Much love for you, friends. Until we meet again …

I’m with you. And so is our Jesus, Immanuel, God with us!
