Emily over at Chatting at the Sky is lingering over her summer. Check out her site to see what other writers have to say about lingering. I'm lingering, contemplative, over a cup of coffee....
and feeling kind of homeless
missing normal
room 813
wbc
running in the mornings
seeing my children
lunch with my husband
talking to sister eight times a day
tears are amassed
behind my eyelids
ready at a moment's notice
i've written here about
dreading
loathing
resisting
change
but God is timely, isn't he?
this week's study for
chris and me
is revelation chapters four and five -
a vivid description of the
throne room of God.
in heaven four creatures sing
day and night
day. and. night.
holy, holy holy
is the Lord God Almighty
who was, and is, and is to come
he was
my summer
he is
the first work week
and will be
the school year
and
new church
and
and
and
and
forever.
hallelujah!
Change equals growth. Growth equals change. Both can be painful. But both are necessary. Trusting in the One Who knows the end from the beginning. I feel what you are saying.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful and truth-filled!
ReplyDeletelovely kendal. change can also be an adventure. newness, refreshing, invigorating. embrace!
ReplyDeletei just listened to you reading from your book for the first time, and it is very moving, very intense. i'm amazed you went through that, and survived it, much less recovered from it. amazing story and testimony. ((H))

I listened to your reading as well .
how coincidental?
patty is a blog love .
I can't tell you how much this gave me goosebumps. For the subject, for the authenticity, for your stunning presence. For the writing and cadence and incredible way you share . You reach.
I won't pretend to say I understand, but I think in some way all women do. I remember in my first year of University I dabbled with this . It is something I see in my daughter's friends, see in other moms, see in bloggers.
bless you . hugs and humble thanks.
Beautifully, beautifully said!! :)
