slowing
down
about advent and expectation
and i can't
see beyond my
nose
i keep rewinding the tapes
playing that one message over and over
the one
in which i hurt a friend
the one
i want to erase
everyone's writing about
slowing
down
about advent and expectation
when i do
when i slow down?
i'm floored by
the father's love
the father's plan
how lovely on the mountains
are the feet of him
who brings good news
it's about
restoration
not
rewinding
and
so
i
slow
down
and
expect
Check out the advent writing:
Just today, I found out that I hurt a friend. It nearly killed me. She's forgiven me and now I'm working on forgiving myself. It's time to change the tape and focus on renewal. Thanks friend. This is what I need.
ReplyDeleteI love this...it is messy to slow down but yes Gospel feet there...I used the same verse today! Isaiah 52:7...He. Is. Everything.
ReplyDeleteBe Blessed:)
I never used to read poetry. But now I heart the words lined up like bunny tracks.
ReplyDeleteAnd the hurting. I hear that. I have one too. I didn't mean it, but I did it, didn't know I did it, until they told me, and I'm sorry. It's all you can do, say sorry, make amends, seek not to repeat the offense. Hope they forgive you as God has forgiven them. And...
i
heart
the
way
you
lace
words
together
and
place
them
gently
right
here
God Bless
