The Year the Locusts Have Eaten, originally posted 3/26/06. This was in regards to a trip I was supposed to go on with my Dad in high school, but didn't get the chance. We went in June 06. :)

"I will repay you for the years the locusts have eaten—the great locust and the young locust, the other locusts and the locust swarm — my great army that I sent among you. You will have plenty to eat, until you are full, and you will praise the name of the LORD your God, who has worked wonders for you; ever again will my people be shamed. Then you will know that I am in Israel, that I am the LORD your God, and that there is no other; never again will my people be shamed." - Joel 2:25-27

This passage was read at 20-something on Wednesday in a totally different context, but today I've been thinking about it in the context of my counseling. There's one thing in particular that I missed out on because of the very things I'm finding healing from in my counseling, and I really want the opportunity to go back and do it.

So today I looked online at how feasible it would be, and I think it might work. If I have the guts to ask...

Sometimes I think healing might really come when the years the locusts have eaten are repaid.
