A voice cries out: “In the wilderness prepare the way of the Lord, make straight in the desert a highway for our God.” (Isaiah 40:3)
Never before has a biblical scripture held such meaning and truth for me. As I sat there in the summer darkness, perched on the edge of a dried-up drainage ditch in the desert of Arizona, I cried out for help. It wasn't out of physical danger or injury. It wasn't out of fear for my safety. It was out of anguish, mental turmoil and spiritual pain. I wasn't trying to get the attention of a passerby to come to my aid. I was screaming out to God. I needed answers. I needed an end to my torment. I needed Him. It had taken many years, and even many darker, lonely roads for me to realize it.
I invite you to follow along with me on a journey of darkness, despair and salvation. It's a story that I like to call My Via Dolorosa.
