Moving

On the move.
Oh Lord. God. I do.
I offer this. up. to you.
I don’t know what is true.
The spirit in me desiring good
The flesh unable to carry it out

Wanting to serve you with all that I am
Needing to discover through you what I can

And what I can’t

What have you made me to be
Will I ever see
This creature of beauty
I want to believe resides
In my inner being
Not of me
But of you
To love
To thrive
Be alive
Work
play
Don’t throw it all away
Wasting in a wasteland

Plant it and let it grow
Graft it in to the vine
Be fruitful
Move on.

Place

The faux leather recliner in which I sit.
Butterfly blanket on my lap.
Patch of bright light. On my mattress. On the floor.
Sun shining through the open window in which sits the box fan.
White noise and air circulation.
Sip on the last of the coffee from the press.
Place it on the dusty tv stand. Tv reflects the bunk beds.
Box spring leaning against the wall.
Bike leaning against the box spring.
Beach chair leaning against the bike.
Backpack on the floor. Camelbak on the floor. Mattress on the floor.
Laptop. Clean clothes piled on top.
Paige asleep on the top bunk. Bundled in blankets. Big silver bag. New straw hat perched on the corner.
Closet doors joined in the middle. Open. My clothes on the right. Her clothes on the left. Her borrowed mountain bike leaning against the closet doors.
This is our room.
This is my place.

too deep for words

The spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words. Romans 8:26

the place where I find myself
unsure of thoughts
conflicted in emotion
skeptical of desire
weary from confusion
hope for discovery
of answers
of truth
of freedom
from lies. lies. lies.
yours
mine
theirs
longing.
resting in a place. too deep for words. where I groan.
