Journey to Thirty Three

Exodus 33:3
Unto a land flowing with milk and honey.

In the next thirty-three days, we shall undertake the journey to thirty-three. A thirty-three day journey to recovery.
A thirty-three day seeking the spiritual land flowing with milk and honey. This time last year, this journey began. It began with my heart stent and then pacemaker. The journey continued into October and Melanie contracting H1N1. The loss of my job, her job. The financial loss, the loss of health insurance, the dipping into retirement funds, the leaning on the everlasting arms deeply.
In a recent post on Facebook, I wrote the heartfelt quote:
"God, I am giving you my too weak notice."
Through a year spent upon the floor prostrate looking up, I have grown weary in the spirit and the flesh.
Thus, for the next thirty-three or however many days it does take, I am going to journey back to the persistent,fervent state of being that existed when Melanie lay upon her hospital bed in Orlando upon death's door.
There, while in daily prayer, the death angel hovered as a buzzard, but never was allowed to enter.
As then,the journey will not be easy. The flesh is woefully weak. The obstacles many. Darkness does not relish the seeking of the light.
The theme of thirty-three was chosen, as for me, thirty-three was the physical age that Jesus was resurrected from the dead.
Thirty-three was my age when Melanie and I married. The number three has always been an important number to me. The scriptures used will relate to the number three. I invite you to journey with me the next thirty-three days and believe for a recovery to financial stability, for a spiritual stability, for an entrance into the land that flows with milk and honey.
