Thoughts

 In the swells

Lashing uneven terrain

Peace is found

For perfection

Is not present

In the Presence

Of hardship

Cracks splinter

When exhaustion

Supplants the 

Need to be

A producer

Yet the need

Is in the

Hands of

Lowly and

Forgotten consumers

Who have nothing

To gain

But a quiet afternoon

Where commentary

Isn’t desired

It’s mission

Is simply being

One with self

And the thoughts

Thought

To be long buried

How wrong

Human

What isn’t met

Returns

To sender

Man

 Nobody is

Coming to 

Save you

The bottom

The valley

Will show

You 

Your sin

Without regard

For your feelings

Life laughs

At those

Darwin

Had it right

And Jesus

Demands

That I care

For the temple

Mine

Love 

Peace

Strength

Perspective

From a very

Smart man

Today

 On the agenda today

Thoughts

 A friend asked one simple question.  Care to make a guess what it is?  Any ideas?  Why is surrender so hard?  One day this week I was on top on the world, the next I felt upended. I’m very impatient. I don’t like waiting. I want the answers now. As if having the answers will make me feel better. Have the roadmap. Wanting to see if the dreams I’ve held for decades finally come to fruition. 

I don’t know if surrender truly and really is a minute by minute exercise for me. It may very well be.  In the meantime it’s an R and R day as I recover. 

Friday questions

 What is making you smile?

What’s on your heart?

What are some of your favorite easy recipes?

What’s in your cart?

What are you drinking?

Your replies to my posts. 

Being convicted to follow the Spirit hourly right now

Don’t have any right now. Need some

Protein bars. Workout gear

Earl Grey tea with honey and lemon

Thank you

 Thank you Lord

For sitting 

With me

In every season

No matter

How lonely

Painful

Or filled 

With glimmers

Of hope

For dreams

Don’t perish

With You

They are 

On the 

Back burner

Until we’re

Prepared 

For the enormity

Of the blessing

And the privilege

Its reality

Brings

Thoughts

 God

You will 

Convict the heart

So fast

I needed it

Even if 

I didn’t want it

Tough love

The God way

Will bring you

Back down 

To the valley

If need be

I’m needing to learn

The valley

Is not punishment

It’s preparation

For the next step

I long to take

The valley doesn’t mean 

Abject failure

But deeply rooted

Internal exploration

And examination.
