"What can likely be attributed to (what seem like) countless and never-ending 'storms' that have come up in my life... I have been finding myself (time and time again) in situations during which I have felt the need for some kind of shelter. It has been during my search for protection in the midst of these storms that I have found myself being drawn (once again) to the wound in Christ’s pierced side. When the storms hit, I find myself not only reflecting on this precious wound of His but wanting to somehow crawl into it.
Yeah, I guess, in a way, this wound of Christ’s has, in particular, become what I have equated with the Psalmist’s 'Shadow of [His] wings.' I have a growing desire and intensifying longing to not only be near this wound of my Beloved but to somehow live inside it; to let it be my 'place of refuge until the storms of destruction pass me by.'" - from Reflection #291 "Refuge in the Pierced Side of Christ" found in Julia's book "The World Is Noisy - God Whispers: Volume II, My Trials and Tribulations" published by Journeys Revealed Ministries*
