looking out overthe plow-ed field
(i'm using the
king james pronunciation)
hosea's words come to mind
break up your fallow ground,
for it is the time to seek the Lord,
that he may come
fallow is so...un
you know?
unfertilized
unused
unfruitful
and what's fallow in my world
is the writing-i-used-to-love
i don't know why
i don't know how to break up this ground
but
i'm seeking the lord
while i wait on words
and
a plow-ed field
what's going on with you? anything fallow in your world? what are you doing about it?

Praying now as you wait on words and the plow-ed field. I'm glad these came to you.
ReplyDeleteMay God refresh you as you wait upon Him and the words He wants you to write.
ReplyDeleteOh, friend. That's a heavy question...what is fallow? A good question to take with me to quiet time today. Praying for abundance for you, Kendal.
ReplyDeleteA great "old fashioned" and important question.

Sending love and prayers your way, Kendal. I've been having a bit of a dry spell with the words as well. It seems I have sown my field with worry of late and this is a crop that I would rather have die out. Fallow. Yes. I hear your heart.
