This past week I’ve been thinking a lot about a Zora Neale Hurston quote from her book “Their Eyes Were Watching God.” In it, she writes,
There are years that ask questions and years that answer.
I’ve had a lot of the “question” years: Where will I live next? When will I meet someone? What will I do next? Who is my community?
But, this year for me is an “answer” year. God is handing me a set of firm Yes’s and No’s on a platter. I don’t always like the answers, but I feel the steadfast assurance of the One who walks with me. I’ve started asking friends which year they’re having, and it has resulted in some special conversations.
What kind of year is it for you?
