Forty Plus Miles

        No pressure, just writing, expressing self again. Here it falls off in the act. Here I'm listening as I walk down a page; listening as God-given inspiration speaks. No pressure, just writing, expressing self again; here it falls off in the act, pressure.

           To survive a winter, or whatever this, I press forward, intentionally, strategically. To overcome a strange time, with strange weather and forecasts that keep changing I look once more in the slow down that cold brings. To the adjustments of ever changing weather from cold to warmer and everything in between, and how I am to respond. I take longer moments (even if only seconds longer) to take in the terrain and move differently there.             To survive a winter, or whatever this is, I remember to live, taking every "hot cup of something" moment and savoring it. Every warmer, sunnier, day as the reminder light isn't gone, and neither is grace. I learn to take it in better, adjust in the varying "weather", and remember Jesus is faithful, even when the weather changes.

       On the eve of something, I feel it; a transition before breakthrough, so I write through. On the start before success, starting again, to make way into a new felt, on the eve of something.

           Glass that ripples. Light that enters and I am listening, listening as grace returns in a warm day from an otherwise cold winter start. Glass ripples in water shown beautiful and inviting to a tired soul as mine. "Rest, even if only for a moment."; and I listen to hope's invitation and pause in the short moment of renewal on an otherwise busy day. Here there is mercy. Here there is renewal. Here I am restored; even in the short moments such as this one along the lakeside where I am working at a house for a short time. Thank You Jesus for renewal and rest!  Sidenote: If any of the writing on this blog has made a good impact on your life in someway (EVEN if it was something you may have enjoyed reading for a particular reason), please feel free to share this blog with someone else who could be blessed also.

            Car after car and I'm waiting, somewhere in a night transition between a busy six day week of work, cold, and running that seems to never end. Stop then go and I'm in between, waiting for some provision for my family and I, wondering when the rest will be. Lights that pierce the night fast approaching remind me to hope, for the darkness of the unknown and the in between seasons will not last; rest will come.             Change comes and goes, but hope remains to all who will believe it; and I believe it. I know the rest will come; in the meantime in between time I'll take every second and minute offered to find restoration and renewal for my worn soul and body.  Sidenote: If any of the writing on this blog has made a good impact on your life in someway (EVEN if it was something you may have enjoyed reading for a particular reason), please feel free to share this blog with someone else who could be blessed also....
