Hello Everyone, E-MAIL 34
If you have had the magazine for December and read my reflection – well, I am beginning to think that God may be female. Why am I changing my mind a little to the feminine side of our God?
The time between Christ the King and Advent, when we as Christians start the process of self-examination of our beliefs and relationships again, is a week of no-mans-land. A space, in which we turn from the realisation of God as King of our lives and the beginning of working that through our daily living to reflect God’s glory to the world. A space, where the world seems to hold it breath in anticipation of what is to come. A space, before the time of preparation for the coming of . . . .
El Shaddai, Emmanuel.
The still-ness of the last two days and indeed this morning all help us to turn inward to our deepest thoughts. The white translucent vale of fog that has shrouded us has given to this space a deeper sense of timelessness, of being wrapped and held in the hands of God.
