What Would Happen…

If we started the day, every day, telling the Lord that we surrender *completely* our plans for the day…. Our hopes for our plans… …and those deep griefs that we can’t even find words for. If we hung on like Jacob did until we receive the blessing. I’m here to find out. Our names are engraved on Your hands… … and even as we grapple, that is ever on Your mind. May it be on mine today, too.

To Wait Right

My sweet feller hung me a clothesline, but it keeps raining on my laundry. It’s raining right now, again. Those towels out the window hang low, bouncing the drops right off the line, and the wind pulls them back and forth. Who knew it rains this much in August? And I am waiting, inside. Give me grace to wait right. Your words are my oxygen. And I will listen for them as long as it takes.
