Pleasant Valley Community of Prayer and Praise "People Knowing God's Call and Living it" The New Bridge Annette DeGrazio As I was on Facebook last week, I came across a very meaningful word from two special sisters of mine from Vermont. (Thanks Bethany and Natalie!) Their words spoke to my heart and I want to share them with you. “We tore down that old bridge today. The one that came to represent old patterns of thinking. The patterns of thought founded in the past - good, bad or indifferent. We watched the last piece of it fall. No more memory lane pulling you back to old you. No more comfortable. No more familiar. No more of that. We stood on the new bridge as we watched the old one go. The one founded in truth and strength. The one that will stand the test of time and weather the storms. The one that gets us where we need to go. The one that is safe. The one that is confidence. The one that is beautiful.” The Lord showed me that was a picture of what He is doing in my life and at Pleasant Valley. "The old road is closed. I can't drive over that bridge anymore because it's not there.” We are now standing on a new bridge, a safe one with new direction for this season. A season filled with destiny and future and Kingdom. May we be a people who embrace the new road Yahweh has laid out for us and experience the beauty of thriving in our new season! March 31, 2016
