Each Monday, when we have the opportunity to minister alongside other women from our church to the ladies in our county jail, we get to lean into powerful, real, raw, and ugly conversations. This week, we talked about what it means to have a ‘burning bush moment,’ and one of the ladies admitted she feels like she is waiting for one. She sees the blessings around her, but she is waiting for THAT moment.

A “burning bush moment” is a way many people describe an encounter with God that feels unmistakably personal, holy, and divinely timed. Exodus 3, when Moses saw the bush that was on fire but not consumed, an ordinary thing transformed into a supernatural sign that changed his life forever.

It often happens when you aren’t searching for a sign, but God meets you right where you are. It feels like God is speaking directly to you… to your heart, your season, or your prayer. & it shifts your perspective, fills you with peace, joy, or direction, and you walk away knowing you’ve been touched by something holy.

You see… this same day I had gotten medical news that I had been dreading. I have cysts inside my uterus and “evidence” of endometriosis that needs to be removed surgically. It’s in these moments that I question God.

“Why couldn’t this have been found sooner?”

“Is this really the problem?”

“What if it’s cancer?”

And before you come at saying I shouldn’t question as a follower of Jesus, remind me of ONE person who didn’t question? Who didn’t fail God? Who didn’t wrestle? It is OKAY to question. The important thing is… who are you taking your questions to? Are you going to focus on them and let them eat you alive or are you going to give them to God and just TRUST Him through it?

Any who, it’s in these moments or prayer and uncertainty that I want to call my brother. He just always knew what to say to cheer me up or remind me that everything was going to be okay.

We went into the jail. And each time I am there, questions arise where I am able to talk about my heart, my questions, my brother. It hurts, but I know God is using my test as a testimony of hope for others.

I walked outside & this rainbow was my burning bush. Unexpected. Undeniable. Precious. Personal. & just for me. “I am with you and will watch over you wherever you go, and I will bring you back to this land. I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised you.” Genesis 28:15

If you feel like you’re in the season of waiting, wondering, or even questioning… I pray God meets you where you’re at & you receive your own burning bush moment.
