balking

so scary sometimes
to move on
when we've dug in our heels
but that's not the life
god intended for us

jesus said
i came so that everyone
would have life,
and
have it in its fullest.


a new jars of clay song (eyes wide open) says
so god bruise the heels we've dug in the ground
that we might move closer to love
pull out the roots we've dug in so deep
finish what you've started
help us to believe

i'm praying specifically
for a friend today
who knows she's balking
but doesn't want to move
