This year I am reconnecting.
I am reconnecting with my spiritual inner man
" I need thee every hour, Most gracious Lord
No tender word like Thine can peace afford.
I need Thee, O I need Thee, ev'ry hour I need Thee
O bless me now my Savior, I come to Thee."
(Anne Hawks)
I have drifted away from my spiritual center. My plumbline is tilted towards the left, no longer hanging down still along gravitational center. It is the reason I can barely hear His voice, or feel so completely cut off from 'the Center of my joy'. I am not unaware of who I am. I am still his child. I am still a part of the fold. I am just estranged from my Father's loving connection. I am definitely in the realm of the prodigal son right now; not yet wallowing with pigs but not too far away from that place either. So my prayer here is.
" Lord draw me to your place of rest
help me to listen to your voice
help me to be obedient, and teach me
to respond in love in every situation
in Jesus's name. Amen
I am reconnecting with my skin (HISTORY)
We are all called
to be historymakers
some of our histories
will be recorded by many
and spewed forth like
an erupting fountain continuously fed
by an artesian well
others
will never be heard.
Joy, always joy in the journey.
