these anniversaries

writing for five minutes on change

hurricane katrina's anniversary
stops me cold each year
not that my personal storm can compare
but
the day she slammed into the coast
ed wrapped his last icy finger
on my heart
and i decided to quit eating
this season of storms
has given me pause to reflect on the
change
god has wrought in my life
and
i'm praising him for bringing me
out
into a spacious place
hear me reader,
he can
change.you.too.

are you longing for change? may i pray for you?

the one where i write about change

writing for five minutes on opportunity

change is not lurking around a corner
nor hiding in wait far down the road
she is here
again.
and
i have the opportunity
to bless or curse
i'm leaving for school in seven minutes
i will pack boxes
i will load carts
i will study new curriculum
i will learn a new teammate
i will place my name plate on a new door
and this is overwhelming
and i want to complain
but the word
and this is terrifying
and i want to whine
but the word
let everything you say be
good
and
helpful,
so that your words will be an
encouragement
to those who hear them
and here knocks
opportunity

how do you react to change?
