Waiting

Waiting is our destiny.
A creature who cannot, by themselves, bring about something.
We wait in darkness for a flame we cannot light;
we wait in fear for a happy ending we cannot write;
we wait for a ‘not yet’ that feels like a ‘not ever’.
Waiting is the hardest work of hope;
 waiting is the land between where things were and where things will be;
 and you don’t get to choose when you get to a waiting room,
but you certainly get to choose how you will respond to waiting.
- Lou Smeads



The Work of God in us while we wait is more important than what we are waiting for




I want to say more, but won't at this moment because i fear that to expound will dilute the potency of these words. Instead I pray that the Spirit will interprete and reveal the depths to all that come across this post.

Day 13: Busy

Being busy
is barely being able to enjoy beauty.
The degree to which we pursue our "duty"
prevents us from smiling freely,
seeing clearly,
and accepting mercy.
But He Has come to give us life more abundantly.

Thank You Father for snippets of mercy in this "busy" world

Day 12: Anxiety

Anxiety can mask one's misery
until you become weary
of the mask of fake piety.
Weakly, each step in this journey
leaves you feeling unworthy
cuz you stuck in this valley.
Blurry eyes filled with tears
 prevents you from seeing clearly
that He is still always there

I revisit the fact that in each alley God is there. He is ALWAYS THERE. Thank You for being in the valleys and alleys of my life.

Day 11: Vengence

Vengence slips slowly as you recall what a nuisance
it was to be in her presence.
But the very essence of saying good riddance
must be considered as an absence of patience


Lord I NEED Patience, I thank You for how patient You have been with me.

Day 10: Pleasure

The best way to measure a life drive by pleasure
is to simple ask Where is your treasure?


Thank You Lord for God for the pleasure found in knowing You.
