timely reminders.

"When you go through a really difficult experience, when you feel lost and alone and God seems far away, you’re in the wilderness for sure. But more than that, you are in the place God has chosen as your testing ground. This is the place where God wants to strengthen you and solidify your sense of identity so you will have the internal resources you need for the good future He has planned for you." - Van Moody

“And you shall remember the whole way that the Lord your God has led you these forty years in the wilderness,
that he might humble you, testing you to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep his commandments or not.”

‭‭Deuteronomy‬ ‭8:2
