There was a knock at the door, so the father went to answer it. Standing there were several visitors.
“Who are you?” the father asked.
One of them said, “I am Simcha, happiness. Next to me is health. Then there’s joy, Emunah (faith), and success. And that strong one over there represents power.”
“You see,” another visitor interjected, “we are what you asked for in your prayers. But you can only choose one of us.”
The father went to deliberate with his family members. Which one should they choose? Should they take faith, success, health, happiness, or power?
After a while, the family made a decision. The father went to inform his visitors that he wanted to choose Emunah.
As Emunah entered the home, however, all the others followed. The father was confused and asked, “Why are all of you coming in? Didn’t you tell me we could select only one of you?”
“Yes indeed,” said success, “but wherever faith goes, we will always follow.”
There comes a point when you realize something has changed —
not just out there, but inside you.
The pace feels faster.
The rules feel looser.
The values you once trusted feel questioned.
And you start asking yourself quietly:
“Am I the only one who feels this?”
Scripture tells us that discernment often feels like discomfort before it feels like clarity.
This page exists for those who sense that something is shifting —
and who are searching Scripture, not headlines, for understanding.
If you feel unsettled, it may not be fear.
It may be wisdom waking up.
Thank you for taking the time to read the Women of the Covenant posts.
I wanted to reach out personally, not to sell anything, but to acknowledge you.
Many of the readers who connect with these stories tell me they’ve been quietly searching for context and reassurance, not predictions or pressure.
That’s precisely why I wrote the Zipporah reflection — slowly, carefully, and with respect for Scripture and the reader.
If you ever feel ready to go a little deeper, the whole piece is available to read privately, at your own pace.
No urgency. No expectation.
