I find myself restless and
craving new beginnings
new life
freshness
Like the earth outside...
And yet-
I have learned and I'm learning
that it is seldom the dramatic shifts
that bring significant change.
Even the tree outside my window
appeared strained and bursting
before her new blossoms, just appearing now-
pink, green. Vulnerable.
I wonder how many times I've pushed passed, impatient, impatient, wrestling
for change.
Instead of resting,
relying,
really waiting.
See, meaningful change is not hurried...
It's as if more care is given to the process than the end product-
Who we become as a result;
Not despite the difficulty and delay
But often because of it.
May we increasingly find the patience and pace that's most beneficial to our souls.
Selah
