These past few days, the image of the painting of "Flight to Egypt" in a chapel always came to my mind.
Why?
I guess because of some uncertainties that I am facing now. Like other people, I have this "I want the answer soon" mode. Nevertheless, when this image of the painting came to my mind, I guess God is telling me that "It's okay that you don't see your destination now."
So every time I felt shaken or tired by the fact that it seems like I'm having a never-ending-uncertainty, I imagine Our Lady was 'shaken' here and there on the donkey as the donkey walked on the road with bad condition.
Nevertheless, she's bringing Jesus in her hand. That's the most important thing. And... she's not alone. St Joseph was there too and she has the faith to carry on instead of complaining, "Hey Lord, I gave birth to your Son but you want me to travel all the way to Egypt NOW???" :)
