God is directing us from the backside of the desert!

"We must go through the valley in order to reach the foot of the
mountain in order to start the climb upwards again. Many times in our
pilgrimage through the wilderness, we think God is hiding from us or
has forgotten us altogether. But as we continue to wait and even move
forward slowly, we find that God was there guiding us from the
backside of the wilderness all the time. The providence of God is
directing us all the way, providing the strength to take each step
forward in our perseverance."
