October 8, 2023 | Meleca Consultado | Genesis 16: 7-8
As I (Meleca) have been sitting with Spirit this last week, She brought me back to a story that has ministered to me more times than I can remember. The story of an Egyptian slave girl, Hagar, who had to endure wickedness and abuse done to her, who lacked power, was vulnerable and might have been erased from the biblical narrative altogether until she was met in the wilderness by the angel of the Lord, who asked her two questions, that I find grounding amidst this liminal space that is staring into one's past while wondering what sort of future awaits you/us.
The question(s): “where have you come from, and where are you going?”
And the invitation I have for you Pamilya, will you carry this story with me?
