While I was with Tracey (my sister) in that cute shop I mentioned previously, she showed me a necklace she'd considered getting me that had the Scripture "for such a time as this" written on it. She knows I love this verse from the book of Esther in the Bible.
Why do I like this verse and what does it have to do with our Paris dream???
Esther was a young Jewish girl placed in the King's court against her will and then made Queen against her will. When her people's lives were threatened, her uncle sends her this message:
"And who knows but that you have come to royal position for such a time as this?"
Esther 4:14b
I think of that often these days. Is my life more than just a sequence of events and places? Has each place I've called home, each person I've called friend, and each church I've called family been in my life "for such a time as this"? I believe so.
And now Paris awaits...for such a time as this...
