Still

Well, we've come to the last Wednesday of March - our impending move is now just under 3 months away! Gulp!!

I just have to say, God is so good. I love how patient He is with His children, and how He takes the time to teach us about Himself. I've been working through a lot of spiritual thoughts and emotions lately, mostly due to all the stress of trying to sell our house, etc. (as you well know, since that's been inspiring many all of my poems lately!).

Thankfully, I feel like I'm finally "getting it." The truth of who God is, and who I am in Him, and who He is to us as His children is truly starting to sink into the deepest places of my heart--places that I never even realized I had closed off to Him! I'm starting to see just how at arm's length I've been keeping the Lord - and how much that's been stunting my spiritual growth. There is so much more to learn, I know--but today, I'm incredibly thankful for what He's already taught me . . . and I look forward to learning more!

So, with that in mind, here's today's little poem:

Still

Deep cauldron of rest,

Look to sky, and happily--

I surrender all.
